The Asian Koel is a fascinating bird found in many parts of Asia.
It's like a stealthy ninja in the bird world, with the males dressed in glossy black feathers and the females in elegant shades of brown.
These birds have a unique and haunting call that echoes through the forests, almost like a ghostly melody.
You'll often spot Asian Koels in tall trees, where they build their nests, and they are known for their brood parasitism.
This means that they lay their eggs in other birds' nests and let them raise their chicks.
It's like a secret bird mission! They are also excellent fruit eaters, gobbling up berries and fruits, and helping with seed dispersal.
So, the next time you're in the woods, listen for the mysterious call of the Asian Koel and try to spot these secretive birds in the treetops.
They bring a touch of intrigue and excitement to the natural world, reminding us that there's always something new to discover in nature.
Large cuckoo with glossy black plumage (male) or brown plumage (female).
Found in a variety of habitats including forests, gardens, and urban areas.
Feeds on fruits and insects, often foraging in trees and shrubs.
