The Green Broadbill (Calyptomena viridis) is a small, brightly colored bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive bright green plumage with a contrasting black face and throat. The species is known for its unique, melodious calls and is often found in the upper canopy of dense, humid forests. Green Broadbills primarily feed on insects and small fruits, using their broad bills to catch prey. They are known for their acrobatic flight and agile movements among the dense foliage. Despite their vibrant appearance, they can be elusive and difficult to spot due to their preference for dense forest habitats.
