The Shining Bronze-Cuckoo is a small bird found across eastern, southern, and western Australia. Measuring about the size of a sparrow, it is known for its shimmering green upperparts that gleam in sunlight. Its contrasting white, barred underside makes it easier to identify in the canopy of eucalypt forests.
