Fluorescent Green Coat, Yellow Face And Throat, Black Head, Blue Crown and Tail, This Bird Is Truly A Flying Gem

We can’t get enough of the cuteness of tiny and chubby birds. When they put on a one-of-their-kind coat, we can never our eyes off them. These birds are too perfect to be true. Their striking plumage makes them conspicuous whenever they turn up. Mother nature actually favors them.

The long-tailed broadbill is among these outstanding birds. It has a fluorescent green coat and a yellow face and throat with a yellow patch behind each eye. Noticeably, it wears a black helmet-like cap with a beautiful blue patch on top. This enchanting blue shade also appears on the wings and tail, making this bird look like a flying gem.

The long-tailed broadbill is a non-migratory species. They are typically found in a region in the Himalayas, in Myanmar, South-East Asia, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo.

These birds prefer living in forests, streams and creeds, tropical and subtropical lowland forests, and tropical, subtropical moist mountain forests.
