Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
softbill (plural softbills)
- Any of various birds (of no particular taxonomic commonality) that feed on relatively "soft" foods, such as leaves and insects.
Usage notes[edit]
- Not a scientific term, and rather variable in its usage. In particular, the bills (beaks) of these birds are not necessarily soft.
