Presumably the cuckoo in its name derives from the similarity of its call to that of a common cuckoo rather than actually being in the family Cuculidae (for instance, it looks and behaves like a pigeon rather than a cuckoo, e.g. in its breeding being non-parasitic).—Jamesray1 (talk) 23:57, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
