Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Starling sighting in Antananarivo on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 69 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Starling in Antananarivo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Madagascar Starling sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Antananarivo, in our data
Antananarivo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Madagascar Starling sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Madagascar Starling that you can see in Antananarivo (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Madagascar Fody (about 90%), Malagasy Brush Warbler (about 50%) and Madagascar White-eye (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Starling is recorded against all the birds logged in Antananarivo (6 verified sightings), 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.
