Observation details
I saw two in the Honey Suckle Tree. One was at 9 O'clock and the other at 3 O'clock. I watched them for several minutes and all of a sudden the cuckoo at 9 flew to the cuckoo at 3. They were about a foot apart on the same branch. I watched to see if one bird would feed the other but instead I saw the pair begin to copulate. Needless to say, I was stunned to see this so I missed out on the photos.
