I wrote about the koel in my last post and last night at 8 pm a koel flew through the window and got trapped between two metal trunks. Cobwebs were entangled in its black feathers. We cleaned the cobwebs.

Its eyes as everyone knows were beady red. Its claws were scaly and sharp, its beak was sharp and its heart was beating because my sis had caught it and then it opened its beak and screamed and everything inside the mouth was red. Then I screamed. It has a beautiful voice but he koel looks like a bird made for horror movies. |We let it go and it flew away into the darkness.

Koels aren't birds that are human-friendly, No one really catches them. Like no one catches the sun birds or hornbills.

Last week was the week I was attacked by animals. Okk,not attacked, but it seemed they would. The koel glared at me and screamed so much and I shouted,"Let it go! Let it go! Before it attacks me!". Then one rooster escaped from the door while I was putting in the feed and it chased me into a corner. It was jumping like a kabbadi player and I screamed for help. It really looked dangerous. I know it isn't, but at that moment, I was shown the defensive potential of these crowing birds. A praying mantis was on the floor and I tried to pick it up to put it outside. It starled me by jumping and making kung-fu moves wiht its front legs and then it stood in the ready to attack position that is taught in martial arts class, where your fists are closed and your hands are slightly crossed and you are ready to punch back. |No wonder it's a character in Kung-fu Panda.
