Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-crowned Barbet sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 168th 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 Yellow-crowned Barbet in Kinabalu Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-crowned Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Yellow-crowned Barbet sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Taman Negara National Park (Malaysia, about 30%), Danum Valley Conservation Area (Malaysia, about 20%) and Gunung Leuser National Park (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same genus: Psilopogon
The closest relatives of the Yellow-crowned Barbet that you can see in Kinabalu Park (genus Psilopogon, Typical Asian Barbets) are Golden-naped Barbet (about 60%), Mountain Barbet (about 10%) and Gold-whiskered Barbet (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-crowned Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (25 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.
