Common Name: Asian Koel

Pronunciation: ko-ee-lee
Koili is a member of the cuckoo family of birds, the Cuculidae. It is found in the Indian Subcontinent, China, and Southeast Asia. The Asian koel like many of its related cuckoo kin is a brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of crows and other hosts, who raise its young. They are unusual among the cuckoos in being largely frugivorous as adults. The name koel is echoic in origin with several language variants. The bird is a widely used symbol in Indian and Nepali poetry comparing human voice to its enchanting singing ability.
