Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Flame-breasted Sunbird sighting in Komodo National Park on a given day, based on 114 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th most-seen of the 76 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Flame-breasted Sunbird in Komodo National Park on a given day, against about 20% in November, the lowest month.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Flame-breasted Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Komodo National Park, in our data
Komodo National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Flame-breasted Sunbird sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flame-breasted Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Komodo National Park (114 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.
