EDITORS COMMENTS
Cheers, mate! This Pheasant Coucal knows how to beat the outback heat with a refreshing dip in the pool. Talk about a fancy cuckoo, this big guy even builds its own nest! Hanging out at Lajamanu, an aboriginal community on the edge of the Tanami Desert in Australia's Northern Territory, this unique bird prefers to roam through thick undergrowth and tall grasses along rivers or wetlands. You won't find it pulling any sneaky tricks like other cuckoos do - it's got its own style! With its vibrant feathers and striking presence, this Pheasant Coucal is truly one-of-a-kind. It's like a superstar strutting down the red carpet of Australian wildlife. From sugarcane fields to dense roadside vegetation, this terrestrial species knows how to make an entrance wherever it goes. So next time you're wandering through the Aussie wilderness, keep your eyes peeled for this magnificent creature. Just don't mistake it for that other company with a similar name - we're talking about nature here! And remember folks, no commercial use allowed - let these wild beauties thrive in their natural habitat.
