The yellow-streaked greenbul or yellow-streaked bulbul (Phyllastrephus flavostriatus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in eastern and south-eastern Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The yellow-streaked greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus. Additionally, some authorities have considered Sharpe's greenbul to also be a subspecies of the yellow-streaked greenbul. Alternate names for the yellow-streaked greenbul include the yellow-streaked bulbul and yellow-bellied greenbul.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-streaked Bulbul sighting in Nyungwe National Park on a given day, based on 334 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 46th most-seen of the 252 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December–January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-streaked Bulbul in Nyungwe National Park on a given day, against about 10% in March to May, the lowest months. Those are among Nyungwe National Park's wettest months, with about 440 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-streaked Bulbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Yellow-streaked Bulbul sightings, Nyungwe National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 20%) and Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-streaked Bulbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Nyungwe National Park (334 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.
