The Rusty-breasted Cuckoo is a small to medium-sized cuckoo primarily found in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its dull plumage and distinctive descending whistle call.
Where to spot
Distributed throughout Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and Java. It prefers dense broadleaf forests, forest edges, and secondary growth, often in foothills and mountains.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic melancholic call. Despite its vocal nature, it is often shy and blends well with its surroundings. Look for movement in the mid-story and canopy of dense forests.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident forest habitats. Vocal activity increases significantly during the breeding season, which often coincides with the local wet season, making it easier to locate.
