I would be ecstatic if we get koels here. Their calls are one of the things I miss most from home.

I’m not 100% sure. I like birds but don’t really know many and the times I see anything unusual they’re so fast.

It was yelling at my cat through the window and when I went to take a look it booked it

if they are truly there they will start waking you up to 3 hours before sunrise with their signature oh-OOH calls in increasingly high tones until their voice cracks

Back where I grew up people despise those birds for being such irritating alarm clocks lol. The subreddit gets UWU bird hate threads every so often.

Still prefer them to wattle birds though tbh
