In India, the Common Hawk-Cuckoo is called the "Brain-fever Bird'. I
think the Koel really deserves that title though. The Com. Hawk Cuckoo
is right musical, up in the level of the Nightingale, by comparison
with the Koel.
Unfortunately, I don't think you can get a silencer for a 410. I would
suggest several stiff night-caps instead.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

I feel bad in writing this email but I am becoming desperate and
starting to lose sleep.
How can one make a very insistent Koel um.. "move on"? At present I'm
feeling that a small metallic projectile might send him to an entirely
different plane but I choose not to cheat.
This guy starts at about 2am and carries on relentlessly until first
light. His Cooee is repeated at between two and three second
intervals.
I've never heard this short regularity before.
Back during 1961 when my sister was studying for her Leaving
Certificate
I took to using a tiny portable cassette recorder. I was younger and
more nimble during those days but I remember well that blasting a Koel
with it's own call made him fly off, possibly thinking that another
bird
had already taken that spot.
I'm right out of ghetto blasters at the moment but wondering if this
method might still work.
I seriously love bird song, but sheesh there's a bloody limit. ;-)
Now where are those damned Cicadas? My water pistols are loaded.
Cheers,
Peter
