Where to spot
Endemic to Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, primarily found in montane rainforests at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its specific plumage, which may include olive-green upperparts and yellow underparts, with variations. Listen for its loud, clear, and often complex whistling song, a characteristic sound of the mountain forests.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the early mornings and late afternoons, especially during the breeding season.
Its restricted distribution to Bougainville Island makes it a unique and important species for conservation, as it is vulnerable to habitat changes on the island.
