Description
The Guira Cuckoo is perhaps the most common cuckoo over a diversity of drier habitats from the mouth of the Amazon south to central Argentina. The Guira Cuckoo is highly social and is generally seen in flocks of 6-8 birds which can accrue to over 20 individuals at times, especially after breeding. The species also breeds communally, with several females laying up to 20 eggs in a single nest. Within the nest, there is much competition between parents and only a quarter of the eggs survive to fledging, the remainder are destroyed or buried or killed as hatchlings by competing adults.
