The Flame Minivet is a spectacular bird found in parts of Asia, famous for the male's intensely fiery orange-red and black plumage. Females are equally striking in yellow and black.
Where to spot
Inhabits broadleaf evergreen forests, often in montane regions, across parts of Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo.
How to spot
Look high in the trees for their vivid colors. They are often detected by their distinctive, sharp calls. Use good binoculars to get a clear view of their intricate patterns.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often moving in small flocks through the forest canopy. They are resident birds, observable year-round.
