おもしろい事実

During outbreaks of cicadas or caterpillars, cuckoos can gorge themselves, eating hundreds in a single day!

If food is scarce, a female cuckoo will lay fewer eggs, making sure each chick has enough to eat!

Their unusual call is often heard just before a summer rain, earning them the nickname "Rain Crow"!

These birds are incredible long-distance flyers, migrating thousands of miles from North America to South America!

特殊能力

能力

Caterpillar Chomper

Yellow-billed Cuckoos can eat many hairy caterpillars because they shed their stomach lining to remove irritating spines.

能力

Stealthy Hunter

Yellow-billed Cuckoos have soft feathers that allow them to fly almost silently, helping them ambush insect prey.

能力

Rapid Nesting

Yellow-billed Cuckoos can raise their young from egg to flight in a remarkably short 17 days, especially when food is abundant.
