Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 213 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 62nd most-seen of the 214 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months. Those are among Kaohsiung's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in February.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge 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.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge sightings, Kaohsiung has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Taichung (Taiwan, under 5%) and Tainan (Taiwan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge is recorded against all the birds logged in Kaohsiung (213 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.
