The greater coucal (Centropus sinensis) is a large, crow-like bird found across South and Southeast Asia. It has glossy black plumage, chestnut wings, and striking red eyes. Unlike typical cuckoos, it builds its own nest and does not parasitize other birds. This bird is an opportunistic predator, known to eat snakes, insects, small mammals, and even bird eggs. It prefers dense vegetation and is often heard before being seen due to its deep, resonant calls.

The Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) is a sleek songbird found in northern forests of Europe, Asia, and North America. It has soft brown plumage, a tall crest, and black facial markings. Known for its love of berries, it often eats fermented ones, sometimes getting so intoxicated that it staggers, falls off branches, or even crashes into windows. It migrates in large, unpredictable flocks and has a unique high-pitched trill.

The long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) is a tiny, fluffy songbird found across Europe and Asia. It has a round body, a remarkably long tail, and soft white, black, and pinkish plumage. Known for its intricate, dome-shaped nests, it weaves moss, spider silk, and feathers together, creating a flexible, well-hidden shelter. These birds are highly social, forming tight-knit family groups that huddle together for warmth in winter.
