Description

The endangered Java Trogon is not surprisingly found in the mountains of western Java (Halimun, Salak and Gede-Pangrango Mountains). There are approximately 2,500-9,999 adult individuals with a decreasing population trend. The main threat is forest loss, degradation and fragmentation, due to widespread agricultural encroachment. It may also be affected by trapping. Its diet consists of beetles and cicadas, which are mostly taken in flight. It also feeds on caterpillars, stick-insects, grasshoppers and other insects. It is commonly seen feeding on fruit, such as figs. Sexes are dimorphic with the female has its wing panel barred buffier and narrower than the male.
