Description
Chestnut-breasted Malkoha is a type of cuckoo and occurs from southern Myanmar (Tenasserim), through the Thai-Malay Peninsula including Singapore, and on Sumatra and the neighboring Mentawai Islands and Bangka, Java and Bali, Borneo, and the Palawan group in the southwestern Philippines.
It eats mainly insects (including caterpillars (hairy and hairless), grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, cockroaches, stick insects, ants, locusts, and butterflies), small vertebrate prey, and figs.
There are 6 subspecies. Populations differ principally in their underparts and head coloration, but some differences exist also in tail pattern and nostril shape
