Meet the Malayan Banded Pitta
The Malayan banded pitta Hydrornis irena, is a species of bird in the Pittidae family. An extremely colorful bird that sports a black head with a yellow/orange streak above both eyes, an orange nape, and a lemon-yellow throat. The chest area is barred with orange and dark blue finishing with a blue belly. The back is a chestnut brown finished off with a blue tail.
Having lost much of their primary forest in Thailand and the Malayan peninsular, these birds are now uncommon in these locations. More pressure has been placed on its population by the illegal cage-bird trade. For these reasons the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being “near threatened“.
