The family of birds that includes all cuckoos and roadrunners, found on every continent except Antarctica.
Modern Latin family name, derived from 'cuculus' (Latin for cuckoo) + the Latin family ending '-idae', following binomial nomenclature conventions.
The cuckoo family is so diverse it includes not just the sneaky nest-invaders but also roadrunners—a reminder that the same family name can encompass birds with wildly different lifestyles.
