The Pheasant Cuckoo is a medium-sized cuckoo found in forests throughout much of Central and South America. This species is known to be brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of other species; otherwise very little is known of it biology. The Pheasant Cuckoo first was suspected to be brood parasitic by von Ihering (1914a, 1914b), who reported on a strange egg in a nest of the Black-backed Water-Tyrant (Fluvicola albiventer) collected in November 1913 in Bahia, Brazil.

Pheasant Cuckoo is a large cuckoo. It has a long graduated tail and a short crest. It is dark brown above; the underparts are paler, but the throat and breast are marked with dusky. Similar Species The Pavonine Cuckoo Dromococcyx pavoninus is similar but is smaller overall and has narrower rectrices. The throat and the breast of the Pheasant Cuckoo are heavily marked, whereas the throat and breast of the Pavonine Cuckoo are unspotted. More
stomach contents, Sick (1953) suggested that Pheasant Cuckoos obtain arthropod and small vertebrate prey from leaf litter on the forest floor. Sick also noted that Pheasant Cuckoo foraging behavior had never been described. I confirm Sick's speculation with a detailed account of the foraging technique used by D. phasianellus while searching for prey on the ground. The basic maneuver is of particular interest as it involves both sounds and feather movements that may flush prey from cover, thereby increasing feeding efficiency. More
The Pheasant Cuckoo is normally very hard to see but this bird had somehow landed in a lake where it was rescued by some concerned bird watchers. It spent an entire day recovering in a sheltered spot and then returned to the wild. More
