Hose's Broadbill

Calyptomena hosii

Near Threatened

Hose's Broadbill is a brilliant green montane broadbill found only on the mountains of Borneo. Larger and brighter than the Green Broadbill, the male has a blue belly, and the species favours hill and lower mountain forest where it feeds on fruit. Fun fact: It moves up and down the mountains following ripening fruit, and is declining where lower-elevation forest is logged.
