Why it matters
The large hawk-cuckoo is a distinctive brood parasite known for its mimicry of predatory hawks, a clever adaptation that often allows it to approach host nests undetected. Ornithologists and birders prize the species for its elusive nature and its evocative, repetitive call, which is a signature sound in the forests of Southeast Asia and the Himalayas.
