Where to spot
Primary and mature secondary humid lowland forests, especially in the dense undergrowth, on the island of New Guinea.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often mournful whistled calls, which resonate through the forest. Remain quiet and still, scanning the leaf litter for movement.

The Blue-breasted Pitta's vibrant blue breast is a striking feature, making it stand out among other pittas despite its secretive habits.
