PITTA
Pit"ta, n. (Zoöl.)
Definition: Any one of a large group of bright-colored clamatorial birds
belonging to Pitta, and allied genera of the family Pittidæ. Most of
the species are varied with three or more colors, such as blue,
green, crimson, yellow, purple, and black. They are called also
ground thrushes, and Old World ant thrushes; but they are not related
to the true thrushes.
Note: The pittas are most abundant in the East Indies, but some
inhabit Southern Asia, Africa, and Australia. They live mostly upon
the ground, and feed upon insects of various kinds.
