    Earlier known as pied crested cuckoo

    Also according to Indian mythology it has its very own Indian name as 'Chaatak' a bird which stays thirsty and only drinks from the first rains.

    In a way sighting of this bird was considered as indication of getting shower soon.

    This is may be the earliest record of concept of Indicator species.     Posted 8 years ago

      I guessed that it might be cuckoo, but Google didn't give correct picture of this one. Thank you :)
