The family Eurylaimidae comprises a group of birds commonly known as broadbills, primarily found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and parts of the Indian subcontinent. Broadbills are small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds with broad, flat bills, which they use to catch insects, small invertebrates, and occasionally fruit. They are known for their strong, agile flight and often inhabit the forest canopy, where they feed and nest. Most species build elaborate, hanging nests suspended from tree branches, and they often display social behaviors, sometimes forming small flocks. Eurylaimidae is of interest to ornithologists due to its diverse morphology, vocalizations, and ecological roles in tropical forest ecosystems.
