Erritzoe, J., Mann, C.F., Brammer, F.P. & Fuller, R.A. 2012. Cuckoos of the World. Helm Identification Guides, Bloomsbury Publishing, London.

Cuckoos of the World (Helm Identification Guides) This authoritative handbook, part of the Helm Identification Guides series, looks in detail at the world’s cuckoos, couas and coucals – the family Cuculidae. Famed as brood-parasites of other birds, the cuckoos include a diverse range of species, from the roadrunners of North America to the spectacular malkohas of southern Asia. This book discusses the biology and identification of these birds on a species-by-species basis, bringing together the very latest research with accurate range maps, more than 600 stunning colour photographs that illuminate age and racial plumage differences, and 36 superb plates by a team of internationally renowned artists.

The book can be purchased from Amazon (USA), NHBS (UK), Fishpond (Australia) among many others.
