The Purple Cochoa is an exquisitely colored, medium-sized bird found in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. Males boast brilliant purplish-blue plumage with black wings, while females are duller.
Where to spot
Dense, moist montane evergreen forests, often with bamboo and rhododendron undergrowth, across the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Often found near streams or mossy areas. They can be shy and difficult to spot high in the canopy, but their distinctive, fluty calls can reveal their presence. Look for them feeding on berries.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the breeding season (spring/summer) when vocalizing. Best observed at dawn or dusk.
