    The other birds know the ways of the cuckoo - no matter what country. They are kicking up quite the stink around my place the past few weeks now that we are in spring, both these cuckoos and other birds. Largest brood parasite in the world and largest cuckoo. Good old Australia. Posted 2 days ago
