From Wild By Prishan
Generations of villagers feared it. Poets wrote about it. And almost nobody ever saw it.
In Sri Lankan folklore, hearing this bird's cry at night meant something terrible was coming.

I assume Mrs anon made this face yesterday. I spotted her tumbler on the table as I was leaving. Lucky for her, her job is right off the road I take to work so she was able to remain properly hydrated.
