Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-crowned Barbet sighting in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 211th most-seen of the 231 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, 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 Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary 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.
7th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Yellow-crowned Barbet sightings, Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary ranks 7th 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%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-crowned Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (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.
