Thread: One for the bird watchers

It has a green tinge to it. If that helps.

Gday mate,

bit hard to tell from that pic, but looks like it could either be a female satin bowerbird, or maybe a shining bronze cuckoo.

try get some better pics or a rough size of it, as the bowerbirds are nearly twice the size of a bronze cuckoo.

cheers

They do sound a bit like a cat hissing

It isn't a cat bird we don't have too many of them .

I'm going with the bowerbird also.

I believe you are correct with the female Satin Bowerbird. It doesn't look right for the shining Bronze Cuckoo.
