WHAT DOES CUCKOO SHRIKE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cuckooshrike

The cuckooshrikes and allies in the Campephagidae family are small to medium-sized passerine bird species found in the subtropical and tropical Africa, Asia and Australasia. The roughly 85 species are found in eight genera which comprise five distinct groups, the 'true' cuckooshrikes the trillers, the minivets, the flycatcher-shrikes. The wood-shrikes were often considered to be in this family but are probably closer to the helmetshrikes or bushshrikes. Another genus, Chlamydochaera, which has one species, the Black-breasted Fruithunter was often placed in this family but has now been shown to be a thrush.
