Cuckoo Web Page

Hi Birders,

I looked up the Cuckoo web page and it is very informative, however it is a 
bit out of date. For all those Sydney Siders, Novocastrians and 
Wollongong-ites, you would be interested to know that neither the Red 
Wattlebird or the Little Wattlebird is listed as a host for the Koel Cuckoo!
While the Little Wattlebird was not confirmed as a host until the mid to 
late 1990s, the Red Wattlebird has been a known host for some time, and now 
days is the major host from the Mid-north Coast to the South Coast of NSW. 
There are plenty of published  and anecdotal descriptions of Koels being 
hosted by wattlebirds.
