The Moluccan Bronze-Cuckoo is a distinct cuckoo species found in parts of the Indonesian archipelago, characterized by its relatively small size and often bronze-green sheen on its upperparts. It is a forest-dwelling bird.
Where to spot
Found in parts of Indonesia, specifically some of the Moluccan islands and possibly New Guinea. It inhabits tropical and subtropical moist lowland forests, often at lower elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct call, which is a key identification feature. Look for its small size and the characteristic bronze sheen on its back and wings when observing it in the forest canopy or mid-story.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its forest habitats. Its vocal activity increases during the breeding season, typically during the wetter months when food resources are abundant.
The subtle bronze iridescence on its plumage, particularly visible in good light, gives this cuckoo its descriptive common name and helps distinguish it from some of its more plain-colored relatives.
