CUCKOO Cuculus variusalso popularly called the #Brainfever #bird is a medium sized #cuckoo resident in South Asia. It is called a Hawk-cuckoo because of its resemblance to the #Shikra hawk. It is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in foster nests. The Common #Hawk-cuckoo is a medium to large sized cuckoo, about the size of a pigeon. The plumage is ashy grey above; whitish below, cross-barred with brown. Broadly barred tail. #Sexes alike. When flying into #trees, they resemble #sparrowhawks (Shikra) and upon landing on the perch they shake their tails from side to side. During summer months, the call is easily detected by its repeated calls : a loud, screaming dee dee dit, repeated with monotonous persistency 5 or 6 times, rising in crescendo and ending abruptly. This in its various interpretations provides alternative. (at Indore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_QykZg1hr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5nn7f7thfbf0

The Common Hawk Cuckoo or the brainfever bird is known to be a #broodparasite ; it lays eggs in the nests of other birds and relies on the hosts to take care of its chicks. The common hawk-cuckoo hosts include laughing thrushes and babblers. Babblers are preferred because the breeding season of the two species takes place around the same time. . . #didyouknowfacts #didyouknowthat #didyouknowgram #instafacts #instaknowledge #birdfacts #instabird #instanature #naturephotography #naturelovers #naturelover #biodiversity #birdsofinstagram #birdsofindia #birdsofindiansubcontinent #birdsofig #birdsofinsta #birdsextreme #kings_birds #best_birds_of_world #best_birds_of_ig #gurugram #gurgaonigers #canon #natgeo #natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #natgeoyourlens #natgeoindia . . @natgeo @natgeowild @natgeotravellerindia @natgeoyourshot @natgeoindia (at Sultanpur National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGcAbmhede/?utm_medium=tumblr
