Cuckootober day 14 - Dwarf koel (Microdynamis parva)

We don't know much about this little bird, which is monotypic within its genus, but its closest relatives are the true koels.

A Berry Good Lunch

This koel was initially hiding behind the cluster of berries. It probably found me too close at about 15 feet (or 4.5 metres) away. But it emerged to pick her favourites on this side of the cluster when I moved back another 5 feet.

Hi Do You Like Birds.

I Do :] :] :]

Anyway here's some thoughts for you

carmen lc is a koel. [wow mr koelguy thats so cool of you]

No But seriously, look at this

koels are cuckoos [cuculidae] found in the eurasian continent. known for their loud as hell uuwuuu sound, theyre notorious for targeting crows. this is important and its not good to demonize the bird for this, just saying, because they do end up doing a service to the enviroment by keeping crow populations down in their regions, especially due to the increasing pest label they have garnered due to their rapid population growth.

they're sexually dimorphic, which means they exhibit different colorations based on sex. males are black, while females are brown with tan spots. both have striking red eyes.

Hey Wait a Moment

i always think about this because its so close of a coincidence. like cmon. HOW do you choose something this specific

they *are* found in south korea so theres a 10 percent chance someone woke up to koel noises and was like... yeah ... yeah i got an idea

along with that: the brood parasitism. angela has a prestablished black bird motif, which you can carry up to ayin being the crow. ayin constantly rejects angela for simply existing, for reminding him of carmen.

when discovered, crows will throw out or kill cuckoo eggs or chicks, especially if theyve displaced their own young

Angela's the cuckoo chick. never asked to be born, never asked to carry someone elses body, never asked to be put in a world where the first person she sees hates her guts.

the fact that carmen ends up guiding her so much through the light also feels so telling. a chick following her mother ...

maybe she'll be the one to go UUUUUWUUUUU. UUUUUUWUU . UUUUWU. WEH WEH WEH outside your front window too

< ugly bird in a pretty world >

the lonely koel perches on the windowsill

awaiting its partner

the colourful peacock dances in athrill

for its soon-to-be lover

the playful budgie chirps for its human caretaker

a pet loved and wanted

the puffin parents build a burrow heavily guarded

so the pufflings don't live in a slum

the ugly koel stays rejected

screeching for a mate never to come

COMMON BIRDS OF SINGAPORE

I had this idea lingering in my mind for some time as I always wanted to showcase some of the wildlife found in my urban country. I decided to bring this idea to life after I realised Easter was around the corner and I could do something bird/egg-themed! Each adorable birb will be debuting as small prints (collage pieces) and individual water-resistant stickers for @martsuri.sg and later available on my online st0re 🌸

I had fun researching these birds, especially finding out what their eggs looked like 👀 I drew the fluffy chicken at first and then the crow, then realised the chicken didn't match the rest in terms of style since I drew the rest of birds in their adult colouration :") I didn't want to scrap the chicken, so left it as is. Those brown markings were based off red junglefowl chicks.

I have a soft spot for rock doves/pigeons and crows! They're often overlooked or get a bad rep but I love them a lot. They're just misunderstood.

I've seen most of these featured species in person before, especially spotted and zebra doves! There's also black-naped orioles I often see in my neighbourhood. As of posting this, I've yet to see any Asian koels in person despite hearing them all the time 👀 I read a theory somewhere since they're such sneaky (and lazy) parents, they prefer to hide where you can't see them but can hear them loud and clear, much to the dismay of many locals who call them 'annoying'. I even heard a man yelling "QUIET!!!" to a male koel and he actually did (keep quiet) for a while... 😔 They've also been nicknamed the 'uwu bird' after the calls that only adult male Asian koels make.

Pink-necked green pigeons (PNG pigeons as I like to call them) have made wholesome headlines in local nature news in the past few years where couples decided to nest in potted plants and outdoor areas of human homes. Despite the unusual location, those homeowners were kind and understanding enough to let the PNG pigeon families raise their young till it was time to leave.

I really enjoyed creating this series! Originally I thought of making the Asian koels wear crow hoodies as a nod to them being brood parasites but scrapped the idea as it wouldn't fit with the style. Perhaps I may do that some other time in another project!

I realised the birds in part 2 aren't as skrunkly as the birds in part 1 but I hope you still like them nonetheless ❤️ I may do a part 3 for birds, otherwise I hope to expand on other common animals in Singapore like reptiles and mammals in the future (:

Lunch Dates

A moment later and the koel had picked up one but was driven away by a male that was apparently watching nearby and that had probably become unnerved by our proximity.
