The Long-tail Broadbill, also known as the “long-tailed broadbill,” is a species of bird belonging to the Eurylaimidae family. They are notable for their vibrant green plumage, with a yellow head and neck, and distinctive long tails. This medium-sized bird measures about 25-30 cm in length, with its elongated tail aiding in agile flight through dense habitats.

Long-tail Broadbills are primarily found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They prefer humid, densely vegetated rainforests where they can easily find food.

Long-tail Broadbills are omnivorous, primarily feeding on fruits, insects, and seeds. They often move in small groups and can be heard making cheerful, melodious sounds. While they may not be easily spotted due to their camouflaging colors, their calls help observers locate them in the wild.

Long-tail Broadbills build nests using leaves and typically place their nests high in trees. They usually lay 2 to 4 eggs per clutch, with both parents participating in incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks.

Although not currently listed as endangered, habitat loss due to deforestation and urban development poses a threat to their populations. Conserving natural forest habitats is crucial for the survival of this species.
