🐦Asian Koel

Eudynamys scolopaceus (Linnaeus, 1758)

噪鹃(学名:Eudynamys scolopaceus)为杜鹃科噪鹃属的鸟类,俗名嫂鸟、鬼郭公、哥好雀、婆好、叫春鳥、升Key雀、哦啊、噪鳩。 它分佈於南亞、東亞和東南亞。 它與密切相關的黑嘴噪鵑和太平洋噪鵑一起形成一個超種,這些物種有時被視為亞種。噪鵑像許多與其相關的杜鵑一樣,是一種巢寄生者,會將其卵產在烏鴉和其他寄主的巢中,由寄主養育其幼鳥。牠們在杜鵑中不尋常之處在於成年後主要以果食性為主。 "koel"這個名稱的起源具有模仿聲音的特點,並在多種語言中有不同的變體。這種鳥在印度和尼泊爾的詩歌中是廣泛使用的象徵。
