Jacobin Cuckoo aka Pied Crested Cuckoo
Jacobin Cuckoo aka Pied Crested Cuckoo are found in Africa and Asia. Partially migratory, they arrive in India, from Africa, in June and are culturally known as harbingers of monsoon rains. In India, they breed and being brood parasites they lay or drop their eggs in Babbler nests, while one of the partners distracts the female babbler guarding it's nest. Job done, they scoot-off back to Africa They feed on caterpillars and insects. Last edited by Krish Chandran on Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:54 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
