A type of bird with a distinctly broad, flat bill, found primarily in tropical regions of Asia and Africa.
Compound of broad and bill (bird's beak), descriptive of the bird's most distinctive physical feature.
Broadbills are so specialized for their niche that they've evolved one of nature's strangest bills—shaped like a flat spatula—and this unusual adaptation earned them the most literal name in ornithology, one that tells you exactly what to look for.
