Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove sighting in Bali Barat National Park on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 124th most-seen of the 173 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove in Bali Barat National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–June and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bali Barat National Park, in our data
Bali Barat National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove is recorded against all the birds logged in Bali Barat National Park (35 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
