About These Birds
Black Pitohui
The Black Pitohui is a medium-sized forest bird with entirely black plumage, a stout hooked bill, and a robust build. It inhabits montane forests of New Guinea at elevations between 800 and 2,400 meters, foraging in the forest interior. Like the closely related Hooded Pitohui, some pitohuis carry toxic batrachotoxins in their skin and feathers, a rare defensive adaptation in birds. It feeds on insects and small fruits.
