Discover the vibrant world of Lybiidae, a family of colorful and melodic barbets found in Africa. From the D'Arnaud's Barbet (Trachyphonus darnaudii) in Serengeti, Tanzania, to the Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird (Pogoniulus bilineatus leucolaimus) on Stingless-bee Road, Ghana, these birds add a splash of color to the African landscape. The Red-rumped Tinkerbird (Pogoniulus atroflavus) can be spotted in Abrafo Village Forest, Ghana, while the Acacia Pied Barbet (Tricholaema leucomelas) makes its home in the Kalahari Desert, Kalahari Gemsbok N.P. Black-collared Barbets, such as those seen here, build their nests in sisal stems and sing synchronized duets. Frugivorous and insectivorous, they play a vital role in their ecosystems. Witness the beauty and harmony of these fascinating birds as they attend their nests, remove debris, and bring food to their young.
