       Many birds perform important functions that help to sustain life on earth. The green broadbill is one such bird. It plays an important role in the ecosystem by disseminating seeds in its droppings.

       The green broadbill is a small green bird with three black bars on each wing. The bird tends to remain camouflaged in the green canopy of trees. It prefers to inhabit dense rainforests.

       The bird comes down to the lower branches for foraging. Although they eat insects and worms, their diet primarily consists of soft fruits such as figs and other vegetation.

       Also known as the lesser green broadbill, it is distributes in broadleaved evergreen forests of Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula where it frequents lowland and lower Montana rainforests.
