Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-throated Parakeet sighting in Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 370 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 36th most-seen of the 91 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-throated Parakeet in Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park on a given day, against about 20% in May and September–October, the lowest months. June has too few records to rate.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive-throated Parakeet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 26
Of the 26 parks where we can rate Olive-throated Parakeet sightings, Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park ranks 6th at about 40%. The best odds are in Celestún Biosphere Reserve (Mexico, about 60%), Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve (Mexico, about 50%) and Pico Bonito National Park (Honduras, about 50%). All parks ranked.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive-throated Parakeet is recorded against all the birds logged in Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park (370 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.
