EDITORS COMMENTS
Nature's Melodious Architects: Black-collared Barbets Singing in Perfect Harmony!". In this snapshot captured by Alan Weaving, we witness the incredible world of the ASW-4446 Black-collared Barbet. Nestled within a sisal stem nesting box, these feathered musicians emerge from their cozy abode to serenade us with their synchronized duets. With a diet that includes both juicy fruits and tiny insects, these frugivorous birds truly have diverse tastes! Found in woodlands, riparian areas, and even coastal dune forests across a wide distribution range spanning from Kenya to Angola and South Africa's Eastern Cape, they are true wanderers of the avian world. Cooperative breeders by nature, these social barbets showcase remarkable teamwork when it comes to raising their young ones. Their hole-nesting habits make them skilled architects as they carve out intricate nests within tree hollows or specially designed nest boxes like the one pictured here. As we admire this single black collared beauty emerging from its snug sanctuary, let us marvel at the wonders of African wildlife. Grahamstown in South Africa provides an ideal backdrop for this stunning display of nature's artistry. So next time you find yourself strolling through lush forests or exploring coastal landscapes, keep an ear out for the melodious tunes of these charming barbets – they might just be harmonizing right above your head!
