So I have seen a listing for centropus sinensis (greater coucal) on a website called enimalia.com, what is the care of the species like ,I do know that they require a primarily animal protein based diet

The greater coucal is a large bird which takes a wide range of insects, caterpillars and small vertebrates such as the Saw-scaled vipers.
Unlike most Cuckoos they are not parasitic on other birds to raise their chicks. But they are a large bird, eg crow/pheasant sized.
