Jerdon's Leafbird

Chloropsis jerdoni

Least Concern

The Jerdon's Leafbird is a bright green leafbird of the Indian subcontinent's dry grasslands, scrub, and river plains. It moves through forest canopy, gardens, and fruiting trees, taking fruit, nectar, and arthropods, and its leaf-like plumage helps it disappear among sunlit foliage.
