But-but sound

Burung But-but Kecil - Lesser Coucal

Malay named the bird is very simple, according to their sound/song. Like Wak-wak (Waterhen), Terkukur (Spotted Dove), Tiung (Common Myna) and But-But (say as boot-boot) here.

The bird estimates its own weight and the strength of the long leaves well, to feel at ease. ~bangchik

but-bu sounds a good name for it. I like onomatopeotic bird names.
