The koel lays its eggs in crow nests as a form of brood parasitism, where it relies on other birds to raise its young. By placing its eggs in a crow's nest, the koel increases the chances of survival for its offspring, as crows will unknowingly incubate and feed the koel chicks alongside their own. This strategy allows the koel to conserve energy and resources that would otherwise be spent on raising its young. Additionally, the koel's eggs often mimic the appearance of crow eggs, reducing the likelihood of detection by the host birds.
