CommentWitnessed a harried P Currawong attempt to feed the unwittingly fostered Channel-billed Cuckoo for half an hour. The monster infant became bullish and almost aggressive in its demand for more and more food. As you can see here, the Cuckoo would easily be able to hold the Currawong's head in its powerful beak. Handheld in extremely poor light.
EquipmentCanon 5Diii + Sigma 600mm ISO 16000 f/7.1 1/1000sec
