With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird sighting in Antananarivo on a given day, based on 108 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 39th most-seen of the 69 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird in Antananarivo on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. That is one of Antananarivo's wettest months, with about 380 mm of rain against 45 mm in September.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Madagascar Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Antananarivo, in our data
Antananarivo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Madagascar Sunbird sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Antananarivo (108 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.
