Green-breasted Pitta

Viridonia sagittirostris

The Green-breasted Pitta, or Viridonia sagittirostris, is a striking bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant green and black plumage, with a distinctive red belly and a long, pointed bill. This species is known for its melodious calls and secretive nature, often staying hidden in the dense undergrowth. Green-breasted Pittas primarily feed on insects and small invertebrates, using their strong bill to forage in the leaf litter. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, this species faces conservation concerns in some parts of its range.
