Which makes it more the challenging..ive seen alot of things but never a pair of them and i bet theres hardly anyone thats seen a pair mating.

That is indeed a challenge ...

 

I think we can safely say we have missed the possibility of mating cuckoos but maybe a pair or a young and old bird would be possible.

 

I have never taken a photo of one, they are pretty secretive - the males are easier to find for obvious reasons though

Ten years back i used to fish a gravel pit for weeks at a time cuckoos would come in the trees right where we fished saw plenty of displaying etc no mating though but they have a very varied amount of calls from croaking to laughing noises suprised me as id only heard them cuckoo and hiss before.

My old mate had one in a cage in the kitchen for years nasty thing never did tame up atb.
