Crested Barbet

Trachyphonus vaillantii

Least Concern

The Crested Barbet is an African barbet of East African savannas, bushland, and woodland. It uses stout bills to eat fruit, figs, insects, and other small food, and often nests in cavities excavated in dead wood or soft branches. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though healthy habitat and secure nesting trees remain important locally.
