The last of the Nature: Flight cards, this is the brood parasite! An Asian Koel chick growing up within a Eurasian Golden Oriole nest.
Asian Koels are obligate brood parasites, meaning that instead of making their own nest, they lay their eggs in other birds' nests. This is a complex and brilliant reproductive strategy - the mother koel needs to find a suitable host species that will raise her young so they grow up safe and strong. By spreading out her eggs in multiple baskets, if tragedy strikes one of her kids, hopefully the others will fare better!
Could I request a feature on Asian Koels (Eudynamys scolopaceus)? They're great birds; much easier to hear than spot (since the males look exactly the same as crows but just red-eyed and the females are really well camouflaged). They're tremendously loud and silly and don't look like what people imagine when they think of cuckoos, but they absolutely are! And it's funny sometimes seeing juveniles with confused adoptive parents.
AS YOU WISH MY LIEGE!!!

Koel the Chimera
A fun redesign for my boy, Koel! Exactly five years from his first conceptual design, he's been through a lot.
cukuuu 📻
"I'm a goddamn mess for you to clean up, but I like it And your dream turned into a nightmare when I crawled inside it And the whole world thinks I'm insane and it might be true But if I'm crazy, oh if I'm crazy If I'm crazy, I'm crazy for you" - If I'm Crazy, Amigo the Devil our BOYS. this song has been in Cuku's playlist for a bit BUT it is a love song sorta, and one i mostly associate with these two HGJKFDSG Cuku doesn't have a very nice outlook on himself, at his lowest points viewing himself an uncontrollable monster that doesn't deserve nice things to happen to him. then Koel appears like a battering ram, but one that Cuku needed at that point, it was odd, Koel cared for Cuku and helped him back on his feet after leaving his ex. Koel wasn't exactly trying to do that it just. happened that way. plus Cuku enjoys his spar's with him. Cuku does truly love Koel, it was just. a bit of a surprise, THAT GUY of all people had taken his heart...
