Black-collared Barbet.
The Black-collared Barbet is an African Barbet and is a common resident in South Africa. This bird is easily recognized by its loud duet and its snarling warning call. They are one of only a handful of birds which “duet” (that means that one bird out of the pair sings the first note, then the other bird sings the second note) which it uses on a daily basis. To those that stand and listen, this does not sound like it comes from two different birds, but one solitary song.
Size:Height ±20 cms. Weight ±58 gms
