The Leafbirds are a Family of birds found only in the Indomalaya ecozone. Their vibrant green plumage gives rise to their common name. Females are generally duller in colouration, although this species - the Philippines Leafbird - does not display sexual dimorphism. Leafbirds favour forests, gleaning the canopy for insects. Nests are generally built high in the trees, on the ends of branches. Most are common and widespread, but the Philippines may now be extirpated from parts of his former range and is classified as vulnerable to extinction.
