It is known for its striking plumage, with a combination of vibrant red, green, and black feathers. This species is highly territorial and can be found foraging on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. Koch's pitta is known for its distinctive call, which is often heard in the early morning and late afternoon. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the species is facing threats to its survival, and conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining forest habitats.
