The Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus) from a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes. According to Wikipedia, it is found in the Indian Subcontinent, China, and Southeast Asia. It forms a superspecies with the closely related black-billed and Pacific koels which are sometimes treated as subspecies. The Asian koel is a brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of crows and other hosts, who raise its young. They are unusual among the cuckoos in being largely frugivorous as adults.The name koel is echoic in origin with several language variants. The bird is a widely used symbol in Indian poetry.

Picture this bird which was resting on a tree near my flat here in Singapore this morning. It is identified by its bright red eyes and dark black feathers. This is a male species.
