Double-toothed Barbet

Pogonornis bidentatus

The Double-toothed Barbet (Pogonornis bidentatus) is a small to medium-sized bird found in the forests and woodlands of West Africa. It is known for its distinctive call, a series of loud, repetitive notes. This barbet has a stout, brightly colored bill and a greenish plumage with black streaks on the back and wings. It feeds on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates, and nests in tree cavities. The species is generally solitary or found in pairs. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the Double-toothed Barbet faces threats in some parts of its range.
