New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | Shining cuckoo, Chrysococcyx lucidas Pipiwharauroa, the shining cuckoo Walking my dog along the river every morning, I listen for the call of Pipiwharauroa, the shining cuckoo, and am greatly disappointed if it doesn’t occur. Their voice starts like someone whistling for their dog and then tails off into a series of downward notes like a long sigh. Trying to follow the call to identify the bird can be a frustrating experience as it is very deceptive. The bird can be quite close without one knowing as the call starts off quietly as if a long way away, so they are difficult to actually sight.
