Jerdon's leafbird (Chloropsis jerdoni) is a species of leafbird found in forest and woodland in India and Sri Lanka. Its name honours Thomas C. Jerdon. It has traditionally been considered a subspecies of the blue-winged leafbird (C. cochinchinensis), but differ in measurements and morphology, it lacking the blue flight feathers for which the blue-winged leafbird was named. It builds its nest in a tree, and lays 2–3 eggs. This species eats insects, fruit and nectar. The male is green-bodied with a yellow-tinged head, black face and throat. Wikipedia →
