Eastern Koel

 This young  bird caught my attention as it was making a lot of noise and was ( at least I thought ) being attacked by a pair of wattle birds. Turned out that they were in fact feeding this much larger eastern Koel chick. Koels  are members of the cuckoo family and lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, who raise them until maturity.
