Shining Bronze Cuckoo
This beautiful cuckoo flew into my studio window and stunned itself. It was standing on the ground in a stunned state and when I put my finger in front of it, it hopped on! It perched calmly on my hand while I dripped a few drops of sugar water into its beak and carried it around the house to find my camera. It eventually came round after about twelve or so minutes and flew off. Later in the season, over a period of several days, I watched a frantic Superb Blue Wren trying to satisfy the appetite of a baby cuckoo already bigger than itself as it perched calmly among the brambles.

Oh wow, what a cute little bird, and yes, so trusting! It must have been a wonderful feeling to hold a bird like that.
