Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-throated Sunbird sighting in Virunga National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 301st most-seen of the 316 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-throated Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-throated Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Virunga National Park (7 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.
