Lineated Barbet

Psilopogon lineatus

Least Concern

The Lineated Barbet is a stout-billed canopy bird of Asian tropical and subtropical forests. It feeds heavily on figs and other fruit, also taking insects, and its ringing calls often reveal it before it is seen among leaves. Pairs nest in tree cavities that they excavate or reuse.
