Drongo-cuckoo/Fork-tailed Drongo-cuckoo/කවුඩු කොහා[Kawudu Koha] (Surniculus dicruroides)

Rather uncommon breeding resident of open forests, wooded areas and adjoining open scrublands from lowland to higher hills. Fork-tailed Drongo-cuckoo feeds on various insects such as caterpillars and beetles and probably some fruits and seeds. Not much is known about its breeding in Sri Lanka but believed to be parasitized in Common Iora and Dark-fronted Babbler nests.
