Üleminekukulude

Üleminekukulude, also known as the Greater Ground-Cuckoo, is a species of bird belonging to the family Cuculidae. It is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia. The species is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with a long, slender bill and a mottled brown and white plumage. The Greater Ground-Cuckoo is known for its unique breeding behavior, where the female lays her eggs in the nests of other bird species, such as weavers and babblers. The chicks of the Greater Ground-Cuckoo are altricial, meaning they are born blind and helpless, and rely on the host species to incubate and care for them. The Greater Ground-Cuckoo is a common sight in its natural habitat, often seen perched on the ground or in low vegetation. It feeds on a variety of insects, including beetles, grasshoppers, and ants. The species is not currently considered threatened, but habitat loss and degradation pose potential threats to its populations. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect the Greater Ground-Cuckoo and its habitat.
