The Palawan leafbird is a small bright green bird with a yellow throat in males. It lives only in the forests of Palawan Island in the Philippines and feeds on fruits, insects, and nectar.
The Palawan leafbird differs from related species by the bright yellow throat in males and by living only on one island. It disperses plant seeds and serves as part of the forest food chain.
