the yellow-billed nunbird is a near-passerine bird (member of the puffbird family) that is sooty black overall, with a white shoulder patch and namesake yellow bill. they are found in bolivia, brazil, colombia, ecuador, and peru. they prefer somewhat open landscapes such as transitional forest, and regenerating clearings who still have somewhat sparse foliage. it’s believed that their diet consists mainly of insects, like other nunbirds.

These puffbirds are found in the forests of the Amazon basin in parts of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Their diet is not well known but like the diets of other nunbird species, it is probably mostly insects. They forage in the canopy of the forest, usually in small flocks. No breeding information has been recorded about them.
