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 →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit sighting in Hefei on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 83 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit in Hefei on a given day, against about 10% in April–September and November, the lowest months.
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.
2nd of 21
Of the 21 cities where we can rate Yellow-bellied Tit sightings, Hefei ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-bellied Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Hefei (29 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.
