Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-rumped Minivet sighting in Yangon on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 66 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.
January and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-rumped Minivet in Yangon on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–December, the lowest months. Those are among Yangon's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in July. April has too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-rumped Minivet sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
7th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Brown-rumped Minivet sightings, Yangon ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 20%), Hefei (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Brown-rumped Minivet that you can see in Yangon (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are House Crow (over 90%), Jungle Myna (about 80%) and Common Tailorbird (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-rumped Minivet is recorded against all the birds logged in Yangon (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.
