Species info - HTML (982 words)
Ecology Habitat This cochoa is found in tropical lower and upper montane rain forest between 900 and 3,000 m (Kuroda 1933_1936, MacKinnon and Phillipps 1993) where it normally frequents the lower and middle storey within the forest (Andrew 1985, SvB), sometimes moving higher (Delacour 1947, MacKinnon 1988, Tobias and Phelps 1994).
Threats The Javan Cochoa is one of (now) four threatened members of the suite of 20 bird species that are entirely restricted to the "Java and Bali Forests Endemic Bird Area", threats and conservation measures in which are profiled by Sujatnika et al.
More surveys, especially of areas that historically held the species, are needed to assess the amount of suitable habitat and then to confirm the presence and abundance of the cochoa.
