Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ventriloquial Oriole sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 137th most-seen of the 247 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ventriloquial Oriole in Kinabalu Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ventriloquial Oriole sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Ventriloquial Oriole sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Danum Valley Conservation Area (Malaysia, about 30%) and Sepilok (Malaysia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ventriloquial Oriole is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (45 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.
