Some people catch it and sell it as a pet bird in black market (of course it is illegal). This bird lives in rainforest from lowland to 1,200 Metres asl. It is usually seen foraging in flocks of 5 to 10 in the middle and upper canopy, generally feeding on insects. What makes Bornean Bristlehead so unique is &#8211; it is the sole representative of the family <em>Pityriasis<\/em> (scientific grouping).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"Birdwatching at Rainforest Skywalk of Rainforest Discovery Center (RDC)\" class=\"wp-image-12797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221221_6.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Looking for Bornean Bristlehead at Rainforest Skywalk of Rainforest Discovery Centre in Sepilok forest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to see Bornean Bristlehead?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Rainforest Skywalk and towers of Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) is the best location to see Bornean Bristlehead<\/strong> because it is usually active on middle and upper canopy of the trees in lowland primary or secondary rainforest.
