Least Concern

The Hairy-breasted Barbet is an African barbet of sub-Saharan African forests, woodlands, and savannas. 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.
