The Northern Catbird is a forest-dwelling bowerbird distinguished by its green plumage and loud, cat-like calls. It is native to the tropical regions of northern New Guinea.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the tropical lowland and hill forests of northern New Guinea, often preferring undisturbed forest areas.
How to spot
Listen intently for its distinctive wailing or meowing calls, which are crucial for locating this often secretive bird within the dense forest canopy. Patience is key for visual confirmation.
When to spot
Active year-round, with heightened vocalizations and foraging activity during the breeding months, though specific timing can vary seasonally.
This species is part of a complex of catbirds that were once considered a single species, but are now recognized as distinct based on genetic differences and unique vocalizations.
