Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-throated Parakeet sighting in Cusuco National Park on a given day, based on 183 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 250 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-throated Parakeet in Cusuco National Park on a given day, against about 10% in June, the lowest month. That is one of Cusuco National Park's wettest months, with about 420 mm of rain against 80 mm in April.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive-throated Parakeet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 26
Of the 26 parks where we can rate Olive-throated Parakeet sightings, Cusuco National Park ranks 10th at about 30%. The best odds are in Celestún Biosphere Reserve (Mexico, about 60%), Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve (Mexico, about 50%) and Pico Bonito National Park (Honduras, about 50%). All parks ranked.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive-throated Parakeet is recorded against all the birds logged in Cusuco National Park (183 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
