Spotted
The Arfak Catbird is a medium-sized bowerbird endemic to the Arfak Mountains of West Papua, Indonesia. It is characterized by its distinctive appearance and vocalizations that resemble a cat's meow.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in the montane rainforests of the Arfak Mountains, located in the Bird's Head Peninsula of West Papua, Indonesia.
How to spot
Due to its shy nature and dense forest habitat, locating this species requires immense patience and keen listening for its characteristic calls. Focus on forest edges and clearings where they might briefly appear.
When to spot
Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when they are most active. This species is a year-round resident in its habitat.
Its common name explicitly refers to the loud, cat-like calls it produces, a unique vocal trait shared across the Ailuroedus genus, making it easily identifiable by sound alone.
