asian koel

The Asian Koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus) is a striking member of the cuckoo order, widely recognized across South Asia, China, and Southeast Asia. Known for its loud, echoic calls and its presence in various cultural myths, this bird forms a superspecies with the Black-billed and Pacific Koels. Unlike many of its relatives, the Asian Koel has several unique biological traits that make it a fascinating subject for birdwatchers and ornithologists alike.
