Couas are large, mostly terrestrial birds of the cuckoo family, endemic to the island of Madagascar.
Couas are reminiscent of African turacos when walking along tree branches, and they likewise feature brightly coloured, bare skin around the eyes. Some resemble coucals in their habit of clambering through jungle while foraging, while the arboreal species move between tree canopies with gliding flight. Four species have been recorded in rainforests, while the remaining six are found in the dry forests of western and southern Madagascar.
