Another image, this time using Superfly, from my latest bird set, Cuckoos. The Crested Coua is found throughout northern, western, southern, and eastern Madagascar, but is absent from the majority of the central plateau. It eats large insects (including caterpillars, crickets, mantises, grasshoppers, leaf insects, beetles, centipedes, and cicadas), snails, geckos, chameleons, and berries, seeds, fruits (Terminalia and Commiphora), and tree flower buds. It gleans food from branches and trunks, often working up from the base of the tree, reaching top, then flying down to the base of a nearby tree before repeating the process. It is notably gregarious in the non-breeding season, forming parties of 3–5 birds, and regularly joins mixed-species flocks. This, the most widespread of the couas, and is represented by four subspecies.
