The Psix Dwarf Cuckoo (*Nannococcyx psix*) is an extinct species of cuckoo, known only from fossil records. Its discovery provides valuable insights into the evolutionary history and ancient diversity of the cuckoo family.
Where to spot
As an extinct species, it cannot be observed in the wild. Its remains have been found in specific paleontological sites, indicating its former presence in those ancient ecosystems, primarily in Europe.
How to spot
This species can only be 'observed' through studying its fossilized remains in museums, university collections, or paleontological research facilities. Field observation is not possible.
When to spot
Cannot be observed in the present day. Its existence dates back to geological epochs determined by the age of its fossilized remains, millions of years ago.
This species is part of the Miocene epoch fossil record, suggesting that the diversity of cuckoos in prehistoric times was perhaps even greater and more widespread than what we observe today.
