==Description==
The leafbirds range in size from {{convert|14|to(-)|21|cm|in|abbr=on}}, and in weight from {{convert|15|to(-)|48|g|oz|abbr=on}}.<ref name = "HBW">{{Citation | first = David | last = Wells | editor-first = Josep | editor-last = del Hoyo | editor2-first = Andrew | editor2-last = Elliott | editor3-first = David | editor3-last = Christie | contribution = Family Chloropseidae (Leafbirds) | title = [[Handbook of the Birds of the World]].

The family is mostly [[sexually dimorphic]] in their plumage, this can vary from the highly dimorphic [[orange-bellied leafbird]] to the [[Philippine leafbird]], which exhibits no sexual dimorphism. Most of the differences between the sexes are in the extent of the other colours in the plumage, particularly in the colours around the head and the blue or black face mask, with females having less colour and a less extensive (or absent) mask.<ref name = "HBW"/> Some species have blue on the wings and tail. The plumage of juvenile birds is a duller version of the female's. To human ears, their [[Bird vocalization|songs]] are melodious, and several species are good mimics. The calls include whistles and chatters.<ref name=M&W>{{cite book | last = Mead | first = Christopher J. | author2 = Wells, D.

Like bulbuls, leafbirds drop many body feathers when they are handled. This may confuse predators, especially [[snake]]s.<ref name=M&W/>
