Database

Our database contains over 5300 records of parasitism of nearly 200 passerine host species gleaned from the literature, museum and private egg collections, RAOU Nest Record Scheme, Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme and the personal communications of others.

These data are continually updated as new records of parasitism come to our notice.

If you have a new record of parasitism that you would like included in the database, please send an e-mail message to LesMikeBrooker@bigpond.com Remember that all records are important, not just new or rare cuckoo-host combinations. We are particularly interested in records for the more common hosts, so that we can track any recent changes in host use.

Some of the datasets are large, taking some minutes to download - please be patient.
