Field Guide
Noisy Pitta
4 sections
The Noisy Pitta is one of Australia’s most vibrantly coloured ground-dwelling birds, found in the lush forests of eastern Australia and southern Papua New Guinea. Although its dazzling plumage stands out in photos, this bird is often surprisingly elusive in the wild, preferring to forage quietly among dense leaf litter.
