Detailed introduction
The scientific name of the Broad-billed Motmot is Electron platyrhynchum, and its specific habits are unknown.
The broad-billed eagle feeds on insects, worms, lizards, various invertebrates, and small vertebrates, and sometimes also eats fruit. While waiting for prey, it can remain motionless for a long time, then suddenly pounce upon it. On perches, its tail often swings from side to side or tilts at an angle. It nests in burrows dug along water's edge or on sand using its downward-curving beak, laying 3-4 white eggs, which are incubated and raised by both sexes.
Listed as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2012 ver 3.1.
