The Pale-bellied Catbird is a distinct bowerbird known for its unique cat-like vocalizations. It has green plumage with a paler belly.
Where to spot
Endemic to humid montane forests and rainforests in the highlands of New Guinea, particularly in the Adelbert Mountains.
How to spot
Locating this species often relies on hearing its distinctive, meowing calls, which sound remarkably like a cat. Look for it foraging in the mid-story and sub-canopy of dense forests.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often heard calling more frequently in the early morning and late afternoon. Observable year-round.

Unlike most other bowerbirds, which build elaborate structures to attract mates, the Catbirds do not construct Bowers, instead relying on their calls and specific displays.
