The Green Broadbill’s Large Bill and Vivid Green Feathers Serve as Ingenious Camouflage, Allowing it to Seamlessly Blend into the Foliage

Lowland woodlands are home to this glowing green bird with a strangely shaped head like an umbrella. Male has dark “comma” behind the eye and black wingbars. Females lack black markings and are a softer shade of green overall. overlaps with Hose’s and Whitehead’s Broadbills in Borneo, both of which are more common at higher altitudes. When observing female Green Broadbills, take notice of their absence of any black in their plumage, their clear bars in place of spots on their wings, and their bigger size in general. Hoots softly and joyfully, frequently in succession.
