Họ Cu cu

General

The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Malaysian names are now being updated. For consistency, Vietnamese bird names (except for ducks and chickens) are preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird'. Ornithological lists mostly omit this as understood.

There is a rich variety of names for the cuckoos in the Orient. This partly stems from a preoccupation with the cuckoo's distinctive calls in traditional culture, especially poetry.

The most common name for the cuckoos is Chim Cu cu, an onomatopoeic term based on the cuckoos' cry. Other names, also mostly onomatopoeic, are shown in the table below. As assigned by ornithologists, these include:

Name	Species/genera	Note
Cu cu	Cuculus, Surniculus
Chèo chẹo	Hawk Cuckoos	Note, however, that the suggested name for the Northern Hawk Cuckoo in (34) uses Cu cu instead.
Bắt cô trói cột	Indian cuckoo (C. micropterus)
Tìm vịt	Chalcites, Chrysococcyx and Cacomantis
Tu hú	Koel
Khát nước	Chestnut-winged Cuckoo (Clamator)	Literally means 'water thirsty'
Phướn	Malkohas and ground-cuckoos
Chim Coọc	Alternative for Greater Green-billed Malkoha

Another less common term, Chim quyên, has been borrowed from Chinese 鵑 juān.

Also from Chinese is Chim Đỗ quyên (Chinese 杜鵑 dù-juān 'cuckoo'), but for some reason the meaning later changed and it now refers to the rails. Similarly for Chim Đỗ vũ (杜宇 dù-yǔ).

Coucals

The Vietnamese word for 'coucal' is Chim bìm bịp, from the bird's cry of 'bìm bịp' during the breeding season (March-July).
