Hi Andrew,
We had a Noisy Pitta last year who came in to eat banana. This year we
had one eating the entrails of a dead Northern Brown Bandicoot. We
watched it and it was definitely not picking insects off.
Cheers,
Keith & Lindsay.

Hi all
A friend at Mt Nebo, Brisbane, has a local Noisy pitta that likes eating
banana. I thought this odd but the Handbook of the Birds of the World confirms
that they do eat some vegetable matter such as fruit, berries and seeds.
Has anybody observed Noisy pittas eating vegetable matter?
cheers
Andrew
