55th Wildlife Week

Eudynamys scolopacea

One of India's most familiar cuckoos with the well-known loudly repeated ku-oo calls. It frequents gardens, groves and open country where there are large leafy trees. It eats mainly banyan and berries, but also caterpillars and other insects. Its flight is swift and straight. The bird's habit of laying its eggs in the nests of crows and foisting on them the responsibility for raising its young is well-known from ancient times.
