Hi jleebrook and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.
Cuckoos really shouldn't be here yet, if one is in your garden (which would be unusual habitat), there is really nothing you can do about it.
Can you get a picture, so we can check your ID of it. If you need help uploading the image, please let us know.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy your time here with us.

Welcome to the Forum - we hope you enjoy your time here. I agree with Delia that it's extremely unlikely a Cuckoo would be here at this time of year. They're probably all in Africa in still (hard to blame them at the moment). I wonder if your bird might be a Fieldfare. They're quite grey coloured like a Cuckoo and there are lots of them coming into gardens because of the cold weather.

Just wondering if you've mis-identified a sparrowhawk as a cuckoo.
couple of pics off internet to illustrate the point.
