Agreed! Thank you

[@AllenBirdcam]

It looks and sounds similar to the southern african Red Chested cuckoo - "Piet-my-vrou". Beautiful bird. Thank you for sharing

[@birdkind]

Yes they are closely related, both members of the genus 'Cuculus'. Thanks for commenting

This reminds me.of the extinct Hawaiian bird

[@janetteruiz9347]

Oh sad. I did a presentation on endangered birds for my com101 and included that clip

[@BoB-13]

I just can't stop smiling when I heard the bird's song

I can read human's mind.
From their face and talk,
I can feel what is in their hearts and minds.

If I have a garden filled with beautiful flowers, how freely I can spend my time speaking with those fantastic flowers. 🍏
(Garden is the most reliable place where I can spend my time relaxing, where I can feel its pleasure, where I can erase my worries, where I can say goodbye to my sadness, and where I can expand my happiness).
If I have a forest filled with natural sounds of the whispering old trees and the amazing sharp sounds of cute birds. 🍏
If I have a mountain where I can see its top, and the sun rising scenery.🍏
If I have a sea side where I can hear the sounds of the sea breeze and its waves.
(When you are at the sea side, sea the waves and its natural beauty. Remember happiness comes with sea waves) 🍏
If I have a birds park where I can see varieties of birds with their beautiful feathers and their melodious singing. 🍏
If I have a zoological garden where I can see the types of different animals and their living styles. 🍏
If I can visit the entire earth to see the amazing places of beauty. 🍏
If I can have wings to fly up and down to get my utmost freedom. I wish I could expand my wings and fly up in the sky and discover new events .🍏
Then, I would certainly say that,
'I am in paradise '. 🍓

Is this birb very rare or did it go extinct?

[@birdkind]

Neither, but exceptionally difficult to see, let alone video. It took me four trips to the same island before I saw one.

[@AlPootis]

Ah, Nature.

[@PigeonUkraineparusProdOfficial]

Just figured out this cuckoo in the video is singing in notes of A to G down to F. 😁

[@birdkind]

Just waiting to be remixed

[@PigeonUkraineparusProdOfficial]
