White-headed Woodhoopoe

Phoeniculus bollei

Least Concern

The White-headed Woodhoopoe is a tree-foraging bird of forests and wooded savannas of central and eastern Africa. It probes bark, crevices, and dead wood with its curved bill for insects and larvae, often moving through woodland in noisy groups or pairs. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though healthy habitat and secure nesting or foraging sites still matter locally.
