What is a "broadbill"?

A broadbill is a fascinating bird species primarily found in tropical regions around the world. One of its most distinctive features is its broad, flattened bill, which sets it apart from other avian species. These birds are renowned for their agile flight and acrobatic hunting skills. With their keen eyesight and swift maneuvers, broadbills are skilled insect catchers. They often perch motionless on branches, waiting patiently for their prey to come into view. Once a target is detected, the broadbill launches into action, swiftly darting through the air to snatch insects mid-flight. Their bills are perfectly adapted for this purpose, allowing them to grasp and manipulate their prey with precision. Broadbills are known for their vibrant plumage, exhibiting a wide array of colors and patterns, including shades of green, blue, and yellow. Some species also possess distinctive facial markings or crests, adding to their visual appeal.
