Grauer's Broadbill (Pseudocalyptomena graueri)

The Grauer's Broadbill (Pseudocalyptomena graueri), also known as the African Green Broadbill, is a rare and colorful bird species endemic to the Albertine Rift montane forests in Central Africa, primarily in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It inhabits high-altitude forests, where it feeds mainly on fruits and some insects. Recognizable by its bright green plumage and small size, this elusive bird prefers undisturbed habitats and is critically dependent on healthy forest ecosystems.

The Grauer's Broadbill is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, primarily due to habitat loss from deforestation and human encroachment. Conservation efforts focus on protecting its remaining habitat within protected areas like national parks.
