The Indian Pitta – India’s Colorful Migratory Jewel
The Indian Pitta is one of the most beautiful migrating birds found in India. Famous for its bright green wings, blue tail, orange underparts, and striking patterns, this elusive bird is a dream sighting for every birder.
Every year, the Indian Pitta migrates from Himalayan regions and central India to the lush forests of South India. During migration season, the forests of Kerala become a perfect habitat for this secretive species.
Inside Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary, birders have a rare opportunity to observe the Indian Pitta in its natural environment while enjoying the beauty of tropical rainforest ecosystems.
