The Red-and-yellow Barbet is a strikingly colorful African barbet, easily identified by its vibrant plumage of red, yellow, and black, often with a distinctive crest. It inhabits dry bushland and savanna.
Where to spot
Dry open woodlands, acacia bushland, and arid savannas in East Africa, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
How to spot
Look for its bright colors perched on prominent branches or at the top of bushes. Listen for its distinctive, rhythmic trilling or bubbling calls, often given as a duet by a pair.
When to spot
Year-round; most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.

This barbet often nests in termite mounds, excavating a chamber within the hard structure, which provides excellent insulation and protection from predators.
