The Indian Pitta is a colorful bird found in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in forests and grasslands. It is known for its striking plumage, featuring vibrant shades of blue, green, and yellow. This medium-sized bird typically measures about 20-23 cm in length and has a distinctive short tail and long legs. Indian Pittas are primarily insectivorous, feeding on insects, worms, and small invertebrates. They are often seen foraging on the ground, using their sharp beaks to hunt for food. These birds are migratory, moving to different regions during the breeding season, and are known for their melodious calls, especially during the monsoon.
