Sign about exotic cuckoo species, 2024-05-21

Walsrode still displays the two mentioned coua species. They don't currently have guira cuckoos and their greater roadrunners are currently not on public display. The last coral-billed ground cuckoo in Europe died in 2019 (although I did see it when I first visited Walsrode back in 2006).

Thank you for the explanation and background on the cuckoos! I was able to see a Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo at the Pittsburg Aviary in 1988 - it was a beautiful bird and one of only a handful that were on display in recent times in the U.S.
