With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parrot-billed Seedeater sighting in Guayaquil on a given day, based on 70 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 63rd most-seen of the 167 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Parrot-billed Seedeater in Guayaquil on a given day, against under 5% in August to December, the lowest months. That is one of Guayaquil's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against almost none in September.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Parrot-billed Seedeater 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 Guayaquil, in our data
Guayaquil is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Parrot-billed Seedeater sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parrot-billed Seedeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Guayaquil (70 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.
