General Discussion & Chat: Koel / Cuckoos in my garden, 1 by Dinu

These two males were fighting over something. There was also a female, but had disappeared long before. Still they were arguing about something. I couldn't know over what! These males are melodious singers. Females cannot sing. They are now on my Thevetia peruviana tree - their favourite for eating the fruits. Notice the birds' eyes - they are red. The crow does not have the red. Inside their beaks also is a red colour. Koels have a longer tail compared to the crow. Had to take this shot from the window, without showing much movement. The Koels are very shy birds and the least disturbance will make them fly away.
