Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Striated Yuhina sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 102 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 210th most-seen of the 367 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 June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striated Yuhina in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and July–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striated Yuhina sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Striated Yuhina sightings, Doi Inthanon National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 20%), Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%) and Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, under 5%).
Same family: Zosteropidae
The closest relatives of the Striated Yuhina that you can see in Doi Inthanon National Park (family Zosteropidae, White-eyes, Yuhinas, and Allies) are Chestnut-flanked White-eye (about 20%), Indian White-eye (about 20%) and Swinhoe’s White-eye (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striated Yuhina is recorded against all the birds logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (102 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.
