The Greater Coucal, or Crow Pheasant (Centropus sinensis), is a large, non-parasitic bird belonging to the cuckoo order, Cuculiformes, found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. With a length of 48 cm, the Greater Coucal is known for its distinctive booming 'coop coop coop' calls, which are often associated with omens. The female's call is lower-pitched than that of the male. These calls can typically be heard in scrublands, light forests, and cultivated areas, which are its preferred habitats.
