G'day all,
The current trail re Koel species prompts me to
raise the following ---
The Common Koel can be heard during our summer
months calling both day and night
Hanzab ( Vol 4, p760- 773 ) states
"social behaviour poorly known. Difficult to
observe..."
" During breeding season, male perch high in
cover and give Coo-ee loudly for long period, both day and
night."
1
Does anyone have an opinion as to whether they
-
- stay awake the whole time OR
- cat-nap for short periods ?
2
Are there any other (Australian) birds that call
both day and night ?
Regards Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW
Qld.
