 Leafbird page
Leafbirds tend to be various combinations of green, yellow, and sometimes a little blue, but perhaps the most attractive is the Gold-fronted Leafbird (left or above) which can sometimes be found feeding on flowers.
Leafbirds were traditionally considered closely related to the Ioras (Aegithinidae).
But DNA studies (Sibley and Ahlquist 1990) showed that leafbirds were not that closely related to ioras but were more closely related to bushshrikes, helmetshrikes and vangas within a broad corvine assemblage that arose in Australasia.
