The Blue Jewel-babbler is an enchanting inhabitant of New Guinea's rainforests, renowned for its brilliant blue coloration. This shy, ground-dwelling bird often remains hidden in dense vegetation.
Where to spot
Inhabits primary and secondary rainforests, often in hilly or mountainous terrain, throughout New Guinea. It prefers damp gulleys and dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Listen carefully for their rich, fluty calls. Look for subtle movements on the forest floor or in low vegetation. Remain quiet and avoid sudden movements to increase your chances of a sighting.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but typically easier to hear or glimpse during the cooler parts of the morning and afternoon. They are non-migratory.

Males possess stunning iridescent blue plumage that can appear almost black in poor light, but truly gleams when illuminated, a characteristic that gives it its 'jewel' epithet.
