A Common Hawk Cuckoo calling early morning
A resident cuckoo bird in the country, also known as the "Brain Fever" bird. These are brood parasites and are getting active now. They have one of the loudest calls in our region and the calls are easy to id as well.
Summers are the breeding seasons for many small resident birds in India including Bulbuls, tailorbirds, babblers etc.. These birds eat one of the eggs of the host bird and drop their own egg inside them. I wasn't lucky to get a sighting or shot of another bird feeding a cuckoo chick, but such pictures are plenty from our region.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
