The familiar sound of the cuckoo is becoming a less heard occurrence in Britain, and the bird has been added to the RSPB‘s ‘red list’ of endangered species in the UK.
Reasons for the decline in numbers of the well known bird are not known for certain, but are believed could be down to a number of factors which are currently being looked into in order to find out whether more can be done to reverse the population drop. These factors include loss of habitats and food sources, and the decline of other species that cuckoos rely on in order for their eggs to be cared for and their young to be raised.
