Male Plaintive Cuckoo, a bird with orange body and grey head, brown and white barred trail, perched on a dead water lily flower head drooping its wings.

Spotted Owlet, a small brown owl with white spots and a pale head, perched in a tree, facing left with its left wing outstretched.

Eastern Red-rumped Swallow, small bird with white underside covered in black streaks, perched on overhead wire, stretching its wings.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying by @robcrank68.bsky.social. I have a male Plaintive Cuckoo and Spotted Owlet from Benchakitti Park #Bangkok and an Eastern Red-rumped Swallow from #ChiangDao

Are #cuckoos really lonely migrants that only have their genes as company? Possibly not, and in an essay this alternative view is explored.

Piersma, T. (2022) Socially migrating cuckoos? On genes being just one of many resources shaping the individual development of migration. Ardea 110, 107-110.

What'll happen to 'Reform UK' now they've let in all those Tories?

A common squirrel cuckoo is drawn perched on a branch with a whorl of leaves.

Day 2 of @cornellbirds.bsky.social #BirdArtWeek2026 for the prompt #HiddenBirds: a Common squirrel cuckoo. Not a terribly shy bird, but it took me ages to finally spot one amongst the leaves!

#Forests in #Sulawesi are inhabited by 2 non-parasitic #cuckoos: the unique Yellow-billed Malkoha & the arboreal Bay Coucal. It's understandable why the malkoha is placed in its own, monotypic genus.

Trump’s radical agenda will ultimately reach a supreme court stacked in favor of conservatives Court has already dramatically limited ability of lower courts to issue injunctions to pause administration policies across the US

No. The current SCOTUS does NOT favor "conservatives." They aren't conserving anything. They are White Christian Nationalists angling to create a repressive theocracy while they wait for the "End Times." #cuckoos

This is cool because #cuckoos are some bad-ass mutha-flupping #birds. But also because it's an #infographic, and we need to start being an infographic-producing civilisation again.
