Golden-fronted Leafbird
The Golden-fronted Leafbird, Chloropsis aurifrons, is a leafbird.
Leafbirds are a family of bulbul-like small passerine bird species found in
India and southeast Asia. They were formerly
grouped with the ioras in the family Irenidae.
The Golden-fronted Leafbird is a common resident breeder in India, Sri Lanka, and parts of southeast Asia. Its habitat
is forest and scrub. It builds its nest in a tree, laying 2-3 eggs. This species eats insects and berries.
The adult is green-bodied with a black face and throat bordered with yellow. It has an orange forehead and blue moustachial
line, but lacks the blue flight feathers and tail sides of Blue-winged Leafbird. Young birds have a plain green head.
The southern Indian race, C. a. frontalis, has a narrower yellow border to black face.
