An Unmistakable Bird With Red Head, Yellow-Orange Chest, And Olive Green Wings
The plumage is without dispute the first thing that makes birds easy to spot from amongst the others. Of course, some birds have distinctive features like a mohawk or eyebrow-like stripes. But the furry suits always help them conspicuous in their colony.
Like many other species, the female of this barbet is duller than the male. Her crown is dull orange and her nape is different shades of green. Not just that, the female has a grey-yellow throat and green back.
The favorite habitats of these barbets are mountain evergreen forests, forest borders, and adjacent secondary growth. They prefer living at 400-2,400 meters above the ground.
