Description
Surniculus lugubris also known as drongo cuckoo is a cuckoo species that resembles a black drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus). However, it can be differentiated by the shape of its tail which is not deeply forked as black drongo. Drongo cuckoo generally appears glossy black with white barred vent. This bird is rarely seen but often heard because it resides on the canopy of tall trees. They produce a high, ascending pitched whistle sound ‘pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi’ to indicate its presence (Strange & Jeyarajasingam, 1993). This species can be found throughout the Oriental region but in Peninsular Malaysia, the drongo cuckoo inhabits the lowland rainforest as well as lower montane forest.
