This is a video of a cuckoo calling.

The video is by Gerrie van der Meulen in the Netherlands.

  Yes, they are beautiful birds, with beautiful calls. Most of the time, people hear them, but don’t see them. I have been fortunate to see a cuckoo a few times.

  However, this page
  
  http://www.ozanimals.com/wildlife/Bird/Cuckoos.html
  
  lists 14 Australian cuckoo species.
  
  While in western Europe there is only one species, plus another one in the Iberian peninsula.

      These species sound differently from cuckoos in Europe, though.
