Broadbills are brightly coloured birds of wet forest canopies, which feed on fruit and insects. Despite their colours, the habitat makes them difficult to observe. They take insects in flycatcher fashion, snapping their broadbills. Their nest is a purse-shaped structure built in a tree, into which typically 2-3 eggs are laid. The Smithornis and Pseudocalyptomena species occur in tropical Africa, the rest extend from the eastern Himalayas to Sumatra and Borneo.
