Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike sighting in Abuja on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 118th most-seen of the 131 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike in Abuja on a given day, against under 5% in May–October and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Abuja's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 250 mm in August.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike is recorded against all the birds logged in Abuja (6 verified sightings), 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.
