It is endemic to the Solomon Islands, inhabiting the floor of primary rainforest on the larger islands. It forages quietly on the forest floor for earthworms, snails, insects, and berries.
Azure-breasted Pitta
The Azure-breasted Pitta is a Vulnerable passerine endemic to the Philippines, weighing about 91.75g with a wingspan of 22.9cm.

Ongoing deforestation across its island range poses a serious threat to this species.
