Green Woodhoopoe
Phoeniculus purpureus
Least ConcernThe Green Woodhoopoe is a tree-foraging bird of woodland, savanna, and riverine forest across sub-Saharan 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.
