00:00Have you ever walked through a dense forest, the air thick with mystery, and suddenly heard
00:05a soft coo coo echoing from the trees?
00:09That hunting rhythmic call is not just another bird's sound.
00:13It is the voice of one of North America's most secretive and fascinating birds, the
00:19yellow-billed koko.
00:21Stay tuned because today we will uncover the story behind this elusive bird's mesmerizing
00:26call, its hidden habits, and why many people call it the rain crow.
00:31So let's listen to call first.
00:56It is like the thing .
01:05Wait.
01:05Are you lying here?
01:07I am lying here.
01:09I am lying here.

04:39and certain appearance during certain months make their calls even more special,
04:44a brief voice of summer before vanishing into the trees again.
04:48To the untrained ear, the cuckoo's calls might sound like a random series of notes,
04:53but to another cuckoo, it's a rich language. Males use these calls to attract females and
05:00defend territory. The rhythm and intensity of their calls often change with mood, calm during rest,
05:07sharp during excitement. Sometimes both male and female exchanges call, creating a dude-like echo
05:13across the forest. It's a malady that defines summer evening in the American woodlands.
05:19Every year these birds make an incredible journey. They spend summers in North America,
05:25grazing their young and then migrate all the way to South America for the winter.
05:30Their timing is perfect. They arrive just as caterpillars and ciscadas
05:35explode in numbers, providing an all-you-can-eat buffet. And as soon as their chicks are ready,
05:42they quietly disappear, leaving only their call lingering in the minds of those who have heard
05:48it. The yellable cuckoo is not just mysterious. It's also unpredictable. Unlike many birds,
05:55it does not always stick to a routine breeding pattern. Sometimes they build a simple twig nest
06:01in dense foliage when both parents share duties. Other times, they abandon the nest or start anew.
06:07If food becomes scared, their adaptability shows how finely tuned they are to their environment.
06:14In folklore, the yellow-billed cuckoo voice carries deep meaning. Native Americans believe
06:19the birds' calls warned of coming storms. Farmers once said, if the cuckoo calls,
06:25fetches your raincoat. Even today, that call cuckoo evokes nostalgia, a reminder of nature's rhythm
06:32and hidden wisdom. It's more than just a sound. It's a connection between sky and earth, between
06:37silence and song. Unfortunately, the yellow-billed cuckoo is now facing challenges. Habitat loss,
06:44deforestation, and climate change have caused their numbers to decline, especially in western regions.
06:50Conservationists are working to protect riparian forests and restore wetlands, ensuring this
06:56gentle voice of the forest does not fade away. Every call you hear could be the one of the lost
07:02in that area. A reminder of how fragile nature harmony can be. So the next time you walk through
07:08a quiet forest and hear that enchanting cuckoo call pause for a moment, you are listening to one of
07:15the nature's oldest melodies, the song of the yellow-binned cuckoo. A song that whispers of rain of mystery
07:22and the life of hidden among the leaves. Because in every forest there is more than what we see,
07:28there's what we hear, what we feel, and what we remember.
