Intro :
Biak Coucal is a very shy and sometimes elusive bird, as it frequently hides amidst the branches and dense foliage of the forest understory. It is entirely black, featuring striking yellow irises and a relatively straight bill that give it a fierce appearance. Although it inhabits both dense forests and secondary habitats across various elevations, the bird is rarely sighted. This bird only coucal species found on Biak Island. While somewhat resembling the Orru Crow, it possesses a longer tail. It is a rather vocal bird, and its calls are heard far more often than the bird itself is seen. The Biak Coucal has a length of approximately 46 cm and weighs around 244 grams.
