English Breakfast Tea-cuckoo

     I love Cuckoos as you may know by my earlier post "Going Cuckoo". The Cuckoos that we have in Canada are the Yellow-billed Cuckoo and the Black-billed Cuckoo. If you were to compare this guy to any actual species it would be most similar to the Mangrove and the Squirrel Cuckoo. These birds seem kind of posh to me so I thought that they would match this tea very well.

This is the Oolong Tea-lizard.
