    • : any of several brilliantly colored, passerine birds of the family Pittidae, inhabiting dark, Old World, tropical forests.

Examples

  • To this class, to the class that hide their light under a bushel, the beautiful Indian pitta (Pitta brachyura) belongs.

  • There is at least one favoured compound in Madras where a pitta, or possibly a pair of them, spends the cool-weather season.

  • It is strange that so retiring a bird as the pitta should find its way with such frequency into inhabited houses.

  • It seems to me that the pitta dislikes cold and wind, and therefore naturally seeks any shelter that presents itself.

  • Possibly another reason why the pitta so frequently enters bungalows is to avoid the crows.
