The nickel was placed in the nest for the photo to show me the size of the egg for identification purposes, then removed.

Recent studies in Sri Lanka have revealed that, upon sighting a predator, a drongo will imitate the alarm calls of at least 4 other bird species (babblers, laughing thrushes, bulbuls, and others), as well as the call given by the specific predator, i.e. a giant squirrel or eagle. It is also classified as Near Threatened.
