Indian Cuckoo Sound

The Indian Cuckoo (Cuculus micropterus) is found widely across Asia from Pakistan to India, and Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China and Russia.Sleek and slender gray-and-white cuckoo. Loud, far-carrying song is unique: four hooting notes, often likened to “onemore-boh-tul!” or “crossword-puh-zuhl.” Adult is similar in size and coloration to Oriental, Himalayan, and Common Cuckoos, but note dark eyes and darker back and wings. Juvenile patchy-looking, often showing a whitish crown and collar and white edging to the wing feathers. Favors forests, forest edges, and parklands.The Indian cuckoo is a brood parasite and lays its eggs in the nests of a wide range of birds, including magpies, shrikes, and drongos.They feed on hairy caterpillars and other insects but sometimes take fruits.They usually feed on the upper canopy, gleaning insects, sometimes making aerial sallies for flying termites or rarely even by hovering lower near the ground.
The loud calls have led to numerous cultural interpretations. In Bengali, it is interpreted as "বউ কথা কও (bou-kotha-kao)", "Bride, please speak". In Uttarakhand and Nepal, it is rendered as "kafal pako", or "the kafal fruit (Myrica esculenta) is ripe", as is the case in May-June when calling increases. Very little variation is noted between regions. In the Kangra Valley of India, the call is interpreted as the soul of the dead shepherd uttering "where is my sheep"

I am searching for a bird that make sounds like "foo-too-ri". Can someone please help. I haven't seen that bird, only heard it's voice and I am living in western Delhi

[@aromaworld]

Hearing the sweet sound of a bird and wanting to see it - shows your interest in birds and for that I appreciate you, but it is difficult to answer your question correctly because it is not possible to identify a bird without hearing its sound . I request you to keep watching channels and videos related to birds, one day you will definitely get the video of that bird. Thanks for watching my video and your query about bird sound.

[@NandakishorTS]

I think its " white cheeked barbet " the bird you are looking for ,pls let me know if you found it 🌝

I went on a Trip to see Jungle Safari in Pench, India. I thought this bird followed us in the whole jungle, and it sings so sweet. If it's continually singing, does it mean something or a signal ?

[@aromaworld]

Thank you for the question, this bird's song is not related with any signal in the forest, but rather it's courtship call.

[@aromaworld]

You can see its continuous singing form in this video -
