Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-vented Myna sighting in Khao Luang National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 201st most-seen of the 215 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-vented Myna in Khao Luang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-vented Myna sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
8th of 9
Of the 9 parks where we can rate White-vented Myna sightings, Khao Luang National Park ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kaziranga National Park (India, about 40%), Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 20%) and Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-vented Myna is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Luang National Park (8 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.
