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 →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit sighting in Xi'an on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 46th most-seen of the 49 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-bellied Tit in Xi'an on a given day, against under 5% in March, June, September and December, the lowest months. February and August have too few records to rate.
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.
14th of 21
Of the 21 cities where we can rate Yellow-bellied Tit sightings, Xi'an ranks 14th at about 10%. 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 Xi'an (7 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.
