We have many noni trees loaded with fruits - cuckoos like them.

With so many noni trees there is no dearth of cuckoos in our garden.Cuckoos love this fruit. Noni is packed with health properties and it is normally taken as fermented juice.
Their chirps are soothing. They have different chirps and their mating chirps are the best
What birds visit you?

In our garden the attraction is besides fruit trees the bird bath. We have many birds visiting us. I do not know how a Maya looks!

@gamayngbaki Wow! So cute. We have something similar and I do not know their name. Probably they are Maya, Wondering.

Sparrows are nowhere to be seen here. They used to be all over the place specially in grocery shops.

@arunima25 I do not know when it was the last time I saw them. We used to see them in grocery stores and the owners let them eat the grains left open there.

@allknowing After so many years, I saw sparrows coming last year during lockdown. They are gone again

@allknowing We have cuckoos but they are named after their call, you can listen to it here
They are also famous for laying their eggs in other species' nests and getting them to rear their young.

@allknowing That is quite different, I wonder if it was named 'cuckoo' by Europeans? Does it have an Indian name?

I love the chirping of cuckoo birds. We had a lot of them coming last year during lockdown. Now they don't visit much.

Our garden is designed with birds in mind but now now many are missing.

@allknowing That's sad. We have seen so many just disappearing over years. I was happy to see sparrows, parrots and cuckoos back during lockdown last year. But now back to only urban pigeons and bulbul sometimes.

Nice photos you have taken, getting bird shots is not easy.
