Guira Cuckoo Birds
Guira Cuckoo Birds – South America Birds
Guira Cuckoos are omnivores and groups will forage together for insects, frogs, eggs, large arthropods such as spiders, crabs, etc., and small mammals such as mice, as well as the nestlings of small birds. Their beak is thick and has a downward curve, which is designed for eating meat. They belong to the same family as the Roadrunner.
They are very noisy birds and make a wide variety of noises, including yodels, guttural calls, gargled trills, and whistles. And, like other cuckoos, they give off a very strong odor.

These are great photos Sandra – the first one they look so interesting, but as I scrolled down, each one had a unique personality that I could tell from your photos.
Such a unique looking bird.
Lovely!
These are so cute Sandra, your pictures are lovely but also high quality.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that Rudi 🙂
Who could not get a smile out of seeing these?
They are so cute sitting all together like this 🙂
Your post introduced these birds to me, as I hadn’t heard of them before. They look quirky and cute.
Yes, they are so cute and they all had to sit so close together on that branch. Unusual for birds. Thank you Dave.
They’re both ugly & cute. The odor thing surprises me!
I know, very unique looking. 😊
I have learnt of a new bird as I have not heard of this one before. A very interesting bird.
They are Liz, quite comical how they all like to sit so close to each other.
