n.名词 noun

- : any of several cuckoos of the genus Eudynamys, of India, the Malay Archipelago, and Australia.

The sight of the koel affects a crow in much the same way as a red cloth irritates a bull.
No sooner are their backs turned than the hen koel slips quietly into the nest and deposits an egg in it.
The skin of the koel is black, that of crow is pink for the first two days of its existence, but it grows darker rapidly.
Koel nestlings, when they first emerge from the egg, differ greatly in appearance from baby crows.
At first the call of the koel is a squeak, but later it takes the form of a creditable, if ludicrous, attempt at a caw.
