Crested coua (Coua cristata) is a common medium-sized bird member of the cuckoo family, Cuculidae. Endemic to Madagascar. Restless bird that bounces through branches, doesn’t often fly. Highly vocal; gives several calls. The chicks have unique red and white “bullseye” markings inside their mouths, presumably to show their parents where to place their food. They also do not flock.
