It is the 88th most-seen of the 200 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Only Raja Ampat, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive Honeyeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (136 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.
