The Nepalese pitta is a bright bird about 22 centimeters long with a blue nape in males. It lives in dense forests of the Himalayas and feeds on small animals on the ground.
The Nepalese pitta differs from other pittas by the bright blue color on the nape in males. It is important for nature because it eats many insects and helps maintain balance in the forest ecosystem.
