Abyssinian Scimitarbill

Rhinopomastus minor

Least Concern

The Abyssinian Scimitarbill is a tree-foraging bird of arid woodland and scrub of northeast Africa. It probes bark, crevices, and dead wood with its curved bill for insects and larvae, often moving through woodland in noisy groups or pairs. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though healthy habitat and secure nesting or foraging sites still matter locally.
