Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of eastern and central New Guinea, typically at high elevations. It inhabits the mid to upper canopy of mossy and cloud forests.
How to spot
Look for its olive plumage and subtle crest. Scan the canopy of montane forests, particularly where fruits are abundant. Listen for its soft, whistled calls, which can help in locating it.
When to spot
Active year-round in its tropical montane habitat. Early mornings are typically the most productive for observation, especially at fruiting trees.
