		Pitta converted from Catholicism to Pentecostal Christianity to serve the homeless and the hungry, "reaching out to the people no one cares about." He serves lunch to the homeless on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays in the unfinished basement of his church on Fourth Avenue and 53rd Street in Brooklyn.

		The amalgamated congregation voted Pitta the senior pastor of the church, and because of this, he obtained ownership and was able to continue his work.

		Justification This beautiful pitta is classified as Critically Endangered because it has a tiny, declining population, which occupies a very small, declining range.
		Its rate of decline is predicted to increase as a result of the continued destruction of its remaining forest habitat, compounded by trapping for the cage-bird trade.
		However, its recent rediscovery in Myanmar indicates that it is less threatened that previously thought, and further information on the population size and trends in Myanmar may lead to the species being downlisted to a lower category of threat.
