Rearing of long-tailed cuckoo

New Zealand Bird Notes, 3 (7), 176-178

J.M. Cunningham (1949)

Article Type: Paper

(1) The egg of the long-tailed cuckoo (Eudynamis taitensis) is as described by Fulton and in more detail by Stead, and shows little variation in size or colouring in nests of various species.

(2) There is no reliable evidence to show that the egg is ever laid in the nest of the grey warbler (Pseudogerygone igata).

(3) Suggestions that this cuckoo is fed either regularly or fortuitously by the warbler are probably based on cases of mistaken identity for the shining or bronze cuckoo (Chalcites lucidus).
