Hooded Pitta

It is a passerine bird, green with a black head and chestnut crown. It forages on the ground for insects and their larvae, and also eats berries. They are highly territorial and their fluty double-noted whistle calls ("qweeek-qweeek") can be constantly heard from their territories, sometimes throughout the nights. This is how our guide attracted them into the area where we were, by imitating their long whistle call.
