Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird

Pogoniulus chrysoconus

The Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird (Pogoniulus chrysoconus) is a small, colorful bird found in the forests and woodlands of Central and West Africa. This species is known for its distinctive yellow rump and bright green plumage, with a red patch on the throat of the male. Yellow-rumped Tinkerbirds are skilled climbers and forage for insects and fruits in the canopy. They have a rapid and high-pitched call that is often heard in the forest. These birds are important for seed dispersal and play a role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats.
