Conservation
Conservation Status
The Squirrel Cuckoo has a very wide distribution and a large population size. Consequently the conservation status of Squirrel Cuckoo is assessed as of Least Concern (BirdLife International 2010).
The relative abundance of the Squirrel Cuckoo is rated as "uncommon to fairly common" (Ecuador: Ridgely and Greenfield 2001), "fairly common" (Trinidad: ffrench 1991), "common to fairly common" (Mexico: Howell and Webb 1995), or "common" (Honduras: Monroe 1968; Costa Rica: Stiles and Skutch 1989; Panama: Ridgely and Gwynne 1989; Venezuela: Hilty 2003; Colombia: Hilty and Brown 1986; Suriname: Haverschmidt and Mees 1994)
Effects of human activity on populations
Human activity has little direct effect on the Squirrel Cuckoo, other than the local effects of habitat destruction. Squirrel Cuckoos are relatively tolerant of habitat disturbance, however, as long as moderately tall woody vegetation remains.
