While its close relative, the narrow-billed tody is more prevalent in the higher altitude areas, the broad-billed tody prefers lower altitude habitats. To nest, it digs into a river bank, similar to a kingfisher.

The broad-billed tody is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
