Why it matters
The Violet Cuckoo is notable for the striking, iridescent purple plumage of the male, which contrasts sharply with its white-barred underparts. Like other members of the *Chrysococcyx* genus, it is a brood parasite, relying on other bird species to raise its young rather than building its own nest.
