Where to spot
Endemic to Indonesia (Java, Bali, Sumatra, Borneo, and many smaller islands) and Peninsular Malaysia, inhabiting forests, cultivated areas, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for its quick movements in fruiting or flowering trees. The bright scarlet head is highly distinctive, even from a distance. Listen for its rapid, high-pitched 'chip' calls.
