The Blue-crowned Barbet is a vibrant Asian barbet, characterized by its green body, red and yellow facial markings, and a prominent blue crown. It is found in lowland forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests, forest edges, and mature secondary growth in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and some smaller islands.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, rhythmic calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy of forest trees, looking for its colorful head pattern, especially the blue crown, as it forages for fruits.
When to spot
Year-round; most active during the morning and late afternoon.

Like many barbets, the Blue-crowned Barbet is a primary cavity nester, excavating its own nest holes in dead or decaying wood.
