About the Yellow-throated Leafbird
The yellow-throated leafbird (Chloropsis palawanensis) is a species of bird in the family Chloropseidae. It is endemic to the Palawan in the Philippines. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. Along with the Philippine leafbird, it is one of the two endemic leafbirds in the country. It is slightly smaller than the Philippine leafbird and is generally more colorful with its bright yellow throat and blue lores and edges of its wing. This is monotypic and has no subspecies. Typically forages alone but also joins mixed-species flocks, often with bulbuls, foraging for fruits and seeds. No information known about its breeding habits. Its habitat is primary lowland forest but it does occasionally visit secondary growth.
