Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Philippine Hanging-Parrot sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 756 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 191 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–June and September–October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Philippine Hanging-Parrot in Manila on a given day, against about 10% in July–August and November–January, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Philippine Hanging-Parrot sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Philippine Hanging-Parrot sightings, Manila has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Davao City (Philippines, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Philippine Hanging-Parrot is recorded against all the birds logged in Manila (756 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.
