They live chieflyon the ground, though often perching, and hop rapidly, not running like most ground-birds. Being hauntersof forests, they are not well known as a rule ; the mostfamiliar being the Bengal Pitta, or Nowrung (ninecolours) [Pitta brachyura), green above, with headstreaked drab and black, and patches of brilliant sky-blue on the wings and at base of tail.
