Taiwan Barbet

Psilopogon nuchalis

Least Concern

The Taiwan Barbet is a stout-billed canopy bird of Taiwan's wooded hills and 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.
