Very likely
About 70% of wildlife watchers report a Black-crowned Waxbill sighting in Yaoundé on a given day, based on 59 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 7th most-seen of the 72 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Black-crowned Waxbill in Yaoundé on a given day, against about 40% in January and February, the lowest months. Those are among Yaoundé's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January. March and June–July have too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-crowned Waxbill sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-crowned Waxbill is recorded against all the birds logged in Yaoundé (59 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.
