Ahh!! I need to look this bird up. Reads like a really nice bird to have in one's neighborhood. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

I did look it up and listened to its call. It is heard on movies sometimes. I think it would be a nice bird to have. Sara

What a pretty picture Ani. I like the idea that the Koel hides - a mystery singer! Congratulations on your win. Blessings to you.
