Black-billed Woodhoopoe

Phoeniculus somaliensis

Least Concern

The Black-billed Woodhoopoe is a tree-foraging bird of dry savannas and thornbush 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.
