This picture gives an idea of ​​the splendor of the Green broadbill. It is a male with the typical black "comma" behind the ear, black wing bands and ruffled feathers on the forehead that extend over the beak in a way reminiscent of the Andean cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus). The female lacks all of this, even the splendor of the plumage. The species occurs from southern Thailand, down the Malacca Peninsula, to Borneo and Sumatra. This is a medium-sized (17 cm), typical rainforest bird that feeds mainly on the soft fruits of various ficus species. Unfortunately, its habitat is threatened by deforestation and the species is therefore considered "near threatened".
