The yellow-bellied tit (Periparus venustulus) is a bird in the family Paridae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1870. It is endemic to China. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest below 2000 meters of altitude. It is also present in urban green spaces.
Male yellow- bellied tits are very territorial, but they have a mutual respect for their neighbors. This is called the "dear- enemy" effect, since the birds respect each other's territory and want to maintain friendships.
Individuals tend to demonstrate a preference for one leg or the other ("footedness"). Yellow-bellied tit at the Internet Bird Collection Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 93 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and November–December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in May and June, the lowest months. Those are among Chengdu's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 270 mm in August.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-bellied Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
6th of 21
Of the 21 cities where we can rate Yellow-bellied Tit sightings, Chengdu ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 40%), Hefei (China, about 20%) and Nanjing (China, about 20%).
Same family: Paridae
The closest relatives of the Yellow-bellied Tit that you can see in Chengdu (family Paridae, Tits, Chickadees, and Titmice) are Green-backed Tit (about 10%) and Cinereous Tit (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-bellied Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (93 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.
