I present to you:

The most radioactive looking bird I've ever seen

The Green broadbill (Calyptomena viridis) is a small bird that's located in the Malay peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra.

The green broadbill!! Yes, they are actually this vibrant and green. This guy is guaranteed to set off your Geiger counter with the amount of radiation they are made of.

They also have the shape of a lime, but I wouldn't recommend taking a bite.

Next up, Songs of the Forest where you listen out for the melodious songs of the beautiful songbirds of Southeast Asia. There are quite a few species of them in here but all I heard are their calls as they are pretty elusive having grown wary to humans poaching them for the bird trade in the wild.

This Green Broadbill was so well hidden among the tree leaves, if not for another visitor with a huge telephoto lens aiming at it, I would not have even noticed it among the greenery.

"The green broadbill acts as an unintentional gardener of the forest, sowing fig seeds for them to grow anew."

Look at how poofy and soft he looks!

LOVE BIRDS SO MUCH💚

[todaysbird]

I just wanted to say.. your blog makes me SO HAPPY! I don't know what it is about birds but they make me smile and go crazyyyy! I love them so much! I was wondering, since you are the bird expert, do you know any interesting green colored birds? :>

thank you!!! And yes, there's so many interesting green birds! (DID YOU KNOW: many birds APPEAR green, but their feathers are only structured that way. the only 'true' green pigment in birds is turacoverdin, found only in turacos!)

There's the Javan Green-Magpie, now sadly critically endangered

A personal favorite & common pet, the Indian Ringneck

Couldn't mention turacos without including them...this one is a White-Cheeked Turaco

Double-eyed fig parrot...love how vibrant they are

green broadbill...gotta love a bird with a snoot

the iridescent shine of the Green Pygmy-Goose!

the green pheasant...he sure is green and a pheasant

the green inca (there's lots of nice green hummingbirds, but having green in the name means he takes the cake)

And, of course, the Green Jay.

A Green Broadbill from Mulu in Sarawak, Borneo. This is what I love doing, birdwatching and bird photography.

usually i think all birds have harmonious colors that go well with each other or look good by themselves. however the green broadbill is just. bad
