The Drongo Cuckoo is found solitary and often mistaken for drongos, but its cuckoo-like flight is a giveaway. Strictly arboreal in nature. It is a brood parasite on small babblers. It is not known how or whether the drongo-like appearance benefits this species but it is suspected that it aids in brood-parasitism. Diet consists of insects, wild fruits, worms and caterpillars. Found in the lower Himalayas but spreads to many regions of south India in winter.
