African+Emerald+Cuckoo

The Emerald Cuckoo is an African bird that is sometimes hunted for plumage, desired because of its bright green feathers. Known as the "mooimeisie" to Africans, meaning "pretty girl," It lives in dense forests usually taking a low profile. The only thing standing out is the memorable sound a cuckoo makes (like a coo-coo clock). The African Emerald Cuckoo is currently in the least concerned category of the conservation status and the population is unlikely to drop.
