Cuckoos are birds in the Cuculidae family. The cuckoo family includes the common or European cuckoo, roadrunners, koels, malkohas, couas, coucals, and anis. The family Cuculidae contains 150 species, which are divided into 33 genera.
Cuckoos have played a role in human culture for thousands of years, appearing in Greek mythology as sacred to the goddess Hera. In Europe, the cuckoo is associated with spring, and with cuckoldry, for example in Shakespeare's Love's Labor's Lost. In India, cuckoos are sacred to Kamadeva, the god of desire and longing, whereas in Japan, the cuckoo symbolizes unrequited love.
The Songbird ReMix Cuckoo uses the Zygodactyl (Woodpecker) Base (which is included in this set). As with all Songbird ReMix birds, this fully articulated model allows the folding of wings and tail, the "fluffing" of feathers and an arsenal of over 100 posing and species creation morphs that allow considerable customization. The set also comes with specific poses and a manul/field guide to help you emulate cuckoo species behavior accurately.
There are two versions of this set for native support in Poser and DAZ Studio. Materials have been tuned to support Iray, 3Delight, Superfly and Firefly renderers.
