Crested Cuckoo

Description:

It is partially migratory and in India, it has been considered a harbinger of the Monsoon rains due to the timing of its arrival. It has been associated with a bird in Indian mythology and poetry, known as the Chatak or Papiha and represented as a bird with a beak on its head that waits for rains to quench its thirst.
