Kannuskägu kutsutakse Aafrikas ka vihmalinnuks. Põhjuseks on asjaolu, et need linnud kipuvad laulma kõige valjemini vahetult enne vihma ehk siis kui õhuniiskus on kõrge. Tollel päeval kägu vaikis. Krugeri rahvuspark, LAV.
The Burchell’s coucal is also commonly referred to as “The Rainbird” and has a well developed reputation in southern Africa for being able to predict impending rain. This association with rain probably arises because coucals often call during periods of high humidity. On that day the coucal was silent. Kruger National Park, South Africa.
