Where to spot
Endemic to Obi Island in the North Maluku Islands of Indonesia. Inhabits lowland and montane forests, often in primary forest.
How to spot
Look for its specific plumage, which may include olive-green upperparts, a dark head, and yellow underparts. Listen for its clear, ringing whistled calls, which are typical whistler melodies adapted to its island environment.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Like most forest birds, it is generally most active and vocal in the early hours of the morning and late afternoon.
Its isolated island existence has led to distinct evolutionary paths, making it a unique species found nowhere else in the world, a hallmark of island biogeography.
