Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-winged Bulbul sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 102nd most-seen of the 138 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-winged Bulbul in Jakarta on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive-winged Bulbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Olive-winged Bulbul sightings, Jakarta ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Johor Bahru (Malaysia, about 30%), Singapore (Singapore, about 20%) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive-winged Bulbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Jakarta (17 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.
