Why are cuckoos so rare?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We are not totally sure why cuckoos are in decline. In the UK they are on the red list. They are also often hard to see. They are not enormously distinctive to look at, inhabit the countryside where most of us don't live, and outside the breeding season may be hidden by foliage. They are only summer visitors. They have a wide range of habitats, which conversely works against seeing them as there are less specific places to look than for some other birds. In fact Wordsworth said 'O, cuckoo, shall I call thee bird, or but a wandering voice?'. If you can find their haunts from local knowledgeable people, your best chance of seeing them is in the breeding season when they perch out in the open more often. Possible reasons for decline include a reduction in their food supply because of pesticide use, deterioration of their wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa, and the slaughter of songbirds along their migration routes, in places like Cyprus and Malta. These notes refer to the old World parasitic cuckoos. There are many other sub-families including American birds such as the roadrunner.

What kind of bird is black white and gray with webbed feet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well, there are allot of birds that have gray feathers. i have a baby bird in my backyard that has gray feathers. robins can, sparrows, and doves are the main ones. very rarely newborn bluebirds can have grey feathers. if you want to know the specific bird, check the eggs (if there are any). if the eggs are blue, it is a bluebird or robin. any other color you would have to go deeper. sometimes you can't just tell by the eggs and the feathers. you can "spy" on the nest to see the mama.

How many offspring can a mallard have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It really doesn't matter what breed of duck it is. They usually lay up to 8-15 in a nest and in a whole year up to 300 !

Female mallards lay from 8-12 eggs. They lay one egg a day, then when they have completed laying, they will sit on the eggs to incubate them, this is why all ducklings hatch within hours of each other, ready to follow their mother as a group.Incubation can take approximately 28 days.
