The Asian Koel (Eudynamys scolopacea) is a cuckoo, and like many cuckoos, it is a brood parasite. The female koel lays her eggs in the nest of one or more species of hosts, allowing the latter to incubate her eggs and feed her chicks until they are fledged and for some time after. In Singapore it has always been assumed that the Asian Koel’s host is the House Crow (Corvus splendens). Evidence that this was so only came in the mid-2000s (Wee, 2005). More
