The Green-billed Malkoha is a striking bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant green bill and long tail. This species primarily feeds on insects, small vertebrates, and fruits. The Green-billed Malkoha is a vocal bird, often heard making a series of deep, resonant calls. It builds a platform nest in trees and lays 2-3 eggs. This bird plays a significant role in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. However, habitat loss and fragmentation pose threats to its population.
