The Taiwan bamboo partridge (Bambusicola sonorivox) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is endemic to Taiwan. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Chinese bamboo partridge. It has several onomatopoeic names known among Taiwanese indigenous peoples: tkurih (Seediq and Truku), tikulhat (Thao), tikulas (Bunun), tjikulai (Paiwan), and tikolac (Amis). Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 714 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 88th most-seen of the 266 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Taipei's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 90 mm in February.
Between 3 and 6 am
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.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge sightings, Taipei ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kaohsiung (Taiwan, under 5%), 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 Taipei (714 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.
