Eastern Koël (f)
The female Eastern Koël (Eudynamys orientalis) is larger than the male, with speckled feathers and lacking the bright red eyes of her mate. These birds migrate to Australia where they spend the warmer months laying their eggs in other birds' nests and shattering the peace with a range of loud and discordant calls. I do not welcome these birds to my yard, and the other birds shun them.
