Chrysococcyx cupreus, more commonly known as the African Emerald cuckoo. It lives across most of sub-Saharan Africa and is not in any threat of decline. It's song is a slurred whistle sounding like "hello Ju-dy"

Definitely more colourful than the cuckoo that visits us - not that I have seen or herd one for years.
Great colors on this stamp.
Nice stamp, and I like the combination of the colourful bird against a simple, pretty background.

A wonderfully vivid colour.
I"m definitely going to do my best to try out this bird color in one of my coloring book pages. Very nice stamp!
