Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-crowned Barbet sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 192nd most-seen of the 228 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-crowned Barbet in Kuala Lumpur 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 Yellow-crowned Barbet 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 Kuala Lumpur, in our data
Kuala Lumpur is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow-crowned Barbet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Psilopogon
The closest relatives of the Yellow-crowned Barbet that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (genus Psilopogon, Typical Asian Barbets) are Coppersmith Barbet (about 20%), Lineated Barbet (about 10%) and Black-eared Barbet (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-crowned Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Kuala Lumpur (13 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.
