Fire-tufted Barbet
Takur Api – Psilopogon pyrolophus

Description:
28 cm. from other barbets by distinctive head pattern, well observed here.
Habits:
One of Fraser’s Hill’s star birds, this is a restricted range species and montane specialist. Numerous and vocal, with a cicada-like buzzing call. Find a small fruiting tree along one of the roads and this spectacular bird is bound to turn up. It flies in clumsily on small whirling wings and clambers around the branches, gorging itself.
