Cucos, cucais e afins
O conhecido canto ‘cu-cu’ deu o nome não apenas ao bem conhecido cuco-canoro, mas também, por extensão, a muitos outros membros da vasta família Cuculidae. Esta inclui não apenas os cucos, mas também cucais, cuas, malcoas, koels, anis e papa-léguas. Cerca de um terço das espécies desta família tem uma estratégia de reprodução baseada no parasitismo, sendo os ovos depositados nos ninhos de outras espécies.
