Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Barred Cuckoo-shrike sighting in Springbrook National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 106th most-seen of the 136 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Barred Cuckoo-shrike in Springbrook National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Barred Cuckoo-shrike sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Barred Cuckoo-shrike sightings, Springbrook National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Raja Ampat (Indonesia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Barred Cuckoo-shrike is recorded against all the birds logged in Springbrook National Park (16 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.
