The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is a fascinating bird found in wooded areas throughout Australia. Despite its name, it is neither a cuckoo nor a shrike, but rather earns its name due to the resemblance of its feathers to cuckoos and its beak shape to shrikes. These birds are known for their small nests, which are constructed by both partners.
