Description
The Blue-winged Leafbird or Burung Daun Sayap Biru in Malay is a songbird that is scientifically known as Chloropsis cochinchinensis. This species can be found in lowland and hill forest up to 1,200m above sea level. It feeds on small fruits and insects in the crowns of lower trees.
Both sexes have turquoise-blue extending from carpal join to primaries of its wing, and less obviously on side of tail. The male has a green body with a yellow-tinged head, black face and throat and a blue moustachial line. The female differs in that it has a greener head and blue throat, while for the young birds' appearance are like the female but without the blue throat patch.
In terms of appearance, the Blue-winged Leafbird has a similar look with other leafbirds except for some different points. The difference between Great Green Leafbird, Lesser Green Leafbird and Blue-winged Leafbird can be distinguished by the lack of bluish wing patch and tail sides for the male species and the lack of bluish wing patch, tail sides and throat patch for the female species.
