The Chattering Yellowbill is distributed from Senegal in West Africa to Uganda and south through the Congo Basin. The Whistling Yellowbill C. australis found along the east of Africa from Ethiopia to South Africa is treated by some authorities as a sub-species of C. aereus. See the distribution map at Birdlife International.

A non-parasitic cuckoo, it is slate-grey with a conspicuous yellow bill, a reddish eye, a yellowish eye-ring and a long, graduated tail.

The call is a series of kuk notes starting off slowly and then speeding up.
