It's native to the Indian subcontinent, breeding in central and northern India and the Himalayan foothills before migrating south for the winter. This shy, ground-dwelling bird forages for insects in the leaf litter of forests, scrublands, and gardens. No subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The Indian Pitta is more often heard than seen, known for its distinctive two-note "wheeeet-tieu" whistle, which it often calls at dawn and dusk. 📷: Photo by shankarn via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-indian-pitta-ornithology-8055828/ TWTX
