LESSER GREEN BROADBILL (Calyptomena viridis)  -  ©NCZoo The Near threatened Green Broadbill, Calyptomena viridis, is a small brilliant green-plumaged bird with a black ear patch, wide gape bill, rounded head, short tail and three black bars on wings. The beak itself is very weak and almost hidden by the crest above it. Both sexes are similar.  The Green Broadbill is distributed in broad-leaved evergreen forests of Borneo, Sumatra and Malay Peninsula and it frequents lowland and lower montane rainforest. It’s foliage-green color provides excellent camouflage. It feeds largely on soft figs. The broadbill’s feeding habits helps to distribute the seeds of the fig around the forest floor.
