The yellow-bellied tit (Periparus venustulus) is a bird in the family Paridae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1870. It is endemic to China. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest below 2000 meters of altitude. It is also present in urban green spaces.
Male yellow- bellied tits are very territorial, but they have a mutual respect for their neighbors. This is called the "dear- enemy" effect, since the birds respect each other's territory and want to maintain friendships.
Individuals tend to demonstrate a preference for one leg or the other ("footedness"). Yellow-bellied tit at the Internet Bird Collection Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 151 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 111th most-seen of the 231 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Seoul's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 360 mm in July.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-bellied Tit 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.
18th of 21
Of the 21 cities where we can rate Yellow-bellied Tit sightings, Seoul ranks 18th at under 5%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 40%), Hefei (China, about 20%) and Nanjing (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-bellied Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Seoul (151 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.
