鹃形目，杜鹃科
体长：37～43厘米
体重：175～242克
噪鹃雌雄体羽不同：雄鸟通体黑色，带蓝色光，下体略带绿；雌鸟全身布满白色斑点，且尾羽具有规则显著的白色横纹。它们声音宏亮，发音似“狗饿”，所以俗名“狗饿雀”。它们多单独活动,食性较杂，除昆虫外，也大量取食无花果和各种作物的种子、果实。它们爱选择椋鸟、喜鹊、红嘴蓝鹊做自己宝宝的养父母，但雏鸟不会将养父母的子女推出巢外，而是一起长大。
Eudynamys scolopacea is not a social bird,instead,it prefers to live alone.The male and female differs in their plumage color,but both have a diet varying from insects to figs and fruits.Eudynamys scolopacea lays eggs in the nests of Sturnus,Pica pica or Urocissa erythroryncha,yet unlike other species in the Cuculidae,the young will not push other baby birds out.(www.xing528.com)

翠鸟科Alcedididae
本科鸟类多为一些颜色艳丽，体型小巧的鸟类。翠鸟家族多靠捕鱼为生。捕鱼时，它们会长时间地蹲守在水边视野开阔处，一旦锁定目标，便如离弦之箭飞扑出去，瞬间捕获猎物。除却高超的捕鱼技巧，“高颜值”是翠鸟科鸟类备受人们青睐的另一大原因。人们尤其喜爱将这些鸟儿绮丽夺目的羽毛用于制作精美的首饰，这便是中国古代的“点翠”工艺。所幸的是，随着环保意识的提高，人们不再觊觎它们美丽的体羽，这些水畔生灵得以在大自然自由、安然地栖息。
