Who am I?

Thought I'd try a different type of puzzle.

WHO AM I?

I'm endemic to my "American" country.

My two word name contains 4 o's and 4 c's.

My family of birds can be found in Africa and Asia but not within 300 miles of me.

For the North Americans trying to solve this puzzle... Mr. Clement's list includes a middle name for me that describes where I live.


I'll leave it at that for now. Other clues as needed.

Is its two word name that contains 4 o's and 4 c's common or latin?

Cocos Cuckoo fits the criteria except maybe Clement's which I don't have.
