We have many Noni trees and they attract cuckoos. I like their chirps which are different for different occasions Their mating chirps are long and soleful and there are happy chirps too then they spot noni fruits ripe and ready. The photo shows the cuckoo enjoying the noni fruit. A ripe noni fruit spells bad but the cuckoos like it

I missed chirping sounds of any birds, especially in the countryside. Unlike at my new place, I usually hear the sounds of the hens and roosters, especially early in the morning.

The cuckoo does look like it is enjoying the noni fruit.
