The nine colors of India Pitta are displayed when it fluffs. Nine colors: brown, black, white, green, blue, orange, pink, red, buff.

They feed on the ground by picking up insects and other small invertebrates from the ground or under the leaf litter.

The call of Pitta is very fascinating which is a two note whistle sound they make by having their head in upright position.

India Pitta makes the nest using dry-leaves and grasses on low branches. They are territorial in nature.
