Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Emu-tail sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 86th most-seen of the 98 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises 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 Brown Emu-tail in Mantadia National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season. January to April have too few records to rate.
2nd of 2

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Emu-tail is recorded against all the birds logged in Mantadia 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.
