October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against about 20% in March–May, September and November–December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Ranomafana National Park (269 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.
