The Noisy Pitta is considered to be the Jewel of the Rainforest. A combination of bright colours, generally secretive behavior and charisma make it a treat to observe. They are mostly terrestrial but do fly to higher perches to call as they maintain their territory. Their diet includes worms and snails. The Nosiy Pitta ranges from Far North Queensland to Southern NSW. They are also locally migratory, generally moving to higher altitude to breed before returning lower regions to Winter. Their 'Walk to work' call is often a 'give away' to their general position in the forest. I filmed these birds on the Sunshine Coast in SE Queensland. Tim Siggs.ABVC. This bird Video is part of my channel started in 2015. My ambition is to showcase 500 Australian bird species. I am passionate about Bird Video as it Potentially shows bird behaviour, breeding and often bird song.
I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
Enjoy.
