Spotted
The Lowland Jewel-babbler is a striking bird native to New Guinea, characterized by its deep blue plumage and secretive nature. It is typically found foraging quietly in the undergrowth of lowland forests.
Where to spot
Primarily found in lowland and hill rainforests of New Guinea, favoring dense undergrowth, ravines, and damp areas on the forest floor.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive, often loud, musical calls that echo through the forest. Look for movement in dense vegetation, as they prefer to stay hidden. Patience is key.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, though often most vocal and observable in the early morning and late afternoon. They are resident birds.
The 'jewel' in its name refers to the iridescent blue feathers of the male, which shimmer beautifully when caught in the right light, making it a truly captivating sight.
