Golden-fronted Leafbird

Chloropsis aurifrons

Golden-fronted Leafbird

The adult Golden-fronted Leafbird is a bright green canopy bird of forests, wooded farmland, and gardens across South and Southeast Asia. It moves quickly through outer branches to feed on fruit, nectar, and small arthropods, often hanging or reaching among leaves like a small acrobat. Adults are strong fliers over short distances and use sharp calls and songs to hold contact and defend feeding space. A notable trait is their ability to mimic other bird calls, adding varied phrases to their own ringing voice.
