Turquoise-throated Barbet

Psilopogon chersonesus

Least Concern

The Turquoise-throated Barbet is a stout-billed canopy bird of mainland Southeast Asian 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.
