The Koel’s interesting feeding behaviour – favouring the farmers

[Samrat Sarkar]

At first they sit on the scaffolding patiently and look around to see where there are ripe pointed gourds within its reach. It is a bit troublesome for a large bird like it to go to the narrow space below the scaffoldings and then to pluck a whole pointed gourd from there. So it is very important for it to see that the pointed gourd it wants to collect is in a favourable place.
