Not our photo! - Common name ‘Storm Bird’ Aboriginal name  ‘Boggabri’
The Channel-billed Cuckoo is Australia's largest cuckoo. Like almost all cuckoos, it lays its eggs in the nests of other species of birds. When the eggs hatch, the cuckoo chicks kill or eject the chicks that belong to the nest.

We saw a group of angry Currawongs harassing three Channel-billed cuckoos that were perched in a tall Sydney Red Gum.
