Tricholaema leucomelas

Least Concern

The Pied Barbet is an African barbet of southern African woodland, savanna, and scrub. 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.
