About These Birds
Andaman Coucal
Andaman Coucal (Centropus andamanensis) — 42–47 cm. Chestnut back and wings; black head and underparts; long graduated tail. Endemic to the Andaman Islands, India, in forest and scrub. Non-parasitic. Omnivore. Previously treated as a subspecies of Greater Coucal.
Common Hawk-Cuckoo
El cucúl de halcón común (Hierococcyx varius) mide 34-38 cm. Tiene partes superiores grises, partes inferiores pálidas con rayas rojizas y el aspecto de un halcón de cernícalo. Parásito de nido. Ampliamente distribuido en el subcontinente indio, el sureste asiático y partes del sur de China. Habita en bosques, huertos y jardines. Su llamada inquietante, audible durante la noche, le ha valido supersticiones locales en India. Parasita principalmente currucas y papamoscas.
