They feed mainly on insects and spend much of their time high in trees, often going unseen despite being easily heard. Rather than building their own nests, Shining Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other small birds, relying on host parents to raise their young—a strategy that allows them to migrate back to the Pacific Islands at the end of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003eEach Shining Cuckoo is handcrafted in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eArrowtown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eby our Cheeky Beaks ceramics team.
