About These Birds

Black-faced Pitta

The Black-faced Pitta is a near-threatened, secretive pitta with brilliantly colored plumage including green, blue, and red tones, set off by a black face and crown. 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. It inhabits the floor and understory of lowland and foothill forests, and is recognized by its brilliant azure-blue breast. Ongoing deforestation across its island range poses a serious threat to this species.
