Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 185 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 98 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.
May
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against about 30% in July, October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Mantadia National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 340 mm in January. January to April have too few records to rate.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Madagascar Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Mantadia National Park (185 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.
