Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-headed Lorikeet sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 92nd most-seen of the 138 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-headed Lorikeet in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive-headed Lorikeet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Jakarta, in our data
Jakarta is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Olive-headed Lorikeet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Psittacidae
The closest relatives of the Olive-headed Lorikeet that you can see in Jakarta (family Psittacidae, New World and African Parrots) are Red-breasted Parakeet (about 40%) and Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive-headed Lorikeet is recorded against all the birds logged in Jakarta (24 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.
