@Nefertari155 ...and Serbia too. Only it's not this particular call of hers that scares village folk. It's the one much louder, sounding like high-pitched "youwee!" repeated several times in succession. For this reason, it's called Kukumavka or Kukavija, from verb "kukati" for being kind of similar to cry of lament. They are slowly regaining their numbers and getting out of endangered status, with this superstition fading over time which can still be found in more isolated villages.
