Asian Koel
Binomial Name: Eudynamys scolopacea
The Asian Koel is a common resident bird of Bangladesh. It can be seen in the rural areasof all parts of the country, on the city's outskirts, and the forests. It likes to be very anxious.
Its calling can be heard more than it can be seen. Breeding season, from March to July. Itdoes not build nests, hatch eggs, or care for chicks. The female koel secretly goes to a
crow's nest, destroys the crow's egg, and lays its own eggs. After the chicks hatch fromthe eggs, the crow takes care of their chicks until they are a little older.
