Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ornate Pitta sighting in Komodo National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 61st most-seen of the 76 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Ornate Pitta in Komodo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. That is one of Komodo National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 200 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ornate Pitta sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Ornate Pitta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Ornate Pitta that you can see in Komodo National Park (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Large-billed Crow (about 90%), Black-naped Oriole (about 60%) and Pacific Swallow (about 60%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ornate Pitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Komodo National Park (9 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.
