Least Concern

The Western Tinkerbird is an African barbet of West African forests and wooded 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.
