  • The Blue-winged Pitta "Pitta moluccensis", is indeed a beautiful and cute bird! It's a small, colorful ground-dwelling bird found in Southeast Asia. They are known for their striking plumage, which features a black head with a buff stripe above the eye, a white throat, greenish upperparts, bright blue wings, buff underparts, and a reddish vent area. They are typically found in moist woodlands, parks, and gardens, and they avoid dense forests. They feed mainly on insects and worms, which they find by hopping around on the forest floor and turning over leaves and debris.
    These compact birds, measuring only 7-8 inches long, are more than just eye candy. They're insectivores, hopping around the forest floor on their pale pink legs, turning over leaves and debris in search of tasty insects and worms. Their short tails and powerful legs make them perfectly adapted for this ground-dwelling lifestyle.
