Pitta \Pit"ta\ (p[i^]t"t[.a]), n. (Zo["o]l.)
Any one of a large group of bright-colored clamatorial birds
belonging to Pitta, and allied genera of the family
Pittid[ae]. Most of the species are varied with three or
more colors, such as blue, green, crimson, yellow, purple,
and black. They are called also ground thrushes, and Old
World ant thrushes; but they are not related to the true
thrushes.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The pittas are most abundant in the East Indies, but
some inhabit Southern Asia, Africa, and Australia. They
live mostly upon the ground, and feed upon insects of
various kinds.
