Know Your Cuckoo Songs

For birdwatchers, monsoon is cuckoo-season! Easier heard than seen, cuckoo songs can be quite a puzzle to solve for the novice. Cuckoos become vocal during late summer and monsoon because this is the time they seek mates and breed. This also coincides with the breeding seasons of their host species, such as prinias, tailorbirds and babblers. Coucals however, make their own nests.

Here is a sing-along cuckoo chart that would help bird lovers with some quick on and off-field differentiation. (Please note that Malkohas have been left out because they are rarely vocal).
