The yellow-throated cuckoo (Chrysococcyx flavigularis) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is distributed across the African tropical rainforest. It is threatened by deforestation.[2]

Yellow-throated cuckoos are facultative brood parasites; they sometimes lay their eggs in other birds' nests. They do so with a variety of species, including their own, and are more likely to engage in this behavior when food is abundant.[3]
