the Asian Koel how to find it

[ezzra]

I live in this very nice 29th floor 5 stars condo on Pratumnuk Hill only to be bothered by these two!! horrible, shrieking noise Asian Koel,

since their sound is carried to a long distance and bounces of other objects it is difficult to locate them,

Any idea how to go about finding them?

Just follow the “kawow kawow-kawow-kawow”

 

Been here >20 years, never seen one, heard thousands (or is one following me, even to India?)

 

What are you going to do if you find him/her?

It seems that those birds are kept as pet by some one who are must be deaf, once I'll find them i intend

to take them far away from where i live and let them go hopefully they will not come back...

Apparently they make good (but annoying) pets.

 

I feel your pain, but theft of someone's property is likely to end in a world of (possibly very physical) hurt. I really wouldn't.

 

Besides they'll only be replaced by wild ones.

 

The @novacova solution would be a much wiser course of action.

Only thing worse than their annoying morning wake up call ...

 

... would be never hearing their morning wake up call again 

 

Been blessed with them at both recent living accommodations, and more than a few snaps of them.  the females & immature males are stunning looking (not in a gay way), and fun to watch.  

 

 

 

 

For those not familiar with their yakkin' away sound

I'm hoping that once i locate the bird/s i can appeal to the owners of such birds to let them go being

a nuisance and a great disturbance to many I'm sure to hear those birds starting their shrieking noise

Good luck with that...... 

A few have tried complaining about dog noise and it rarely goes well, I suspect similar will happen. You could offer to buy them off the owner... then do as you see fit.

I guess I'm just used to the roosters out back starting up at 0400 each morning and continuing till after dark. I am - so to speak - aware of them but not conscious of them.

 

By comparison the koel (at least the one recorded on the vid) sounds blissful.

Then he'd get a few more in the hope that ezzra'd buy them, too, at a suitably inflated price.

At least a rooster is useful in fertilizing chickens and a rooster was the only bird that told people

back than that is't time to wake up where the Koel bird is nothing but a bother and a nuisance...
