Brown Headed Barbet (Megalaima Zeylanica)
The Brown Headed Barbet, also called Large Green Barbet, is a resident bird in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It is mostly seen either solitary or in pair but large groups are very uncommon. It gets mixed so well with tree leaves that it is very difficult to spot this bird. Fruits make up most of their food and hence they can be found easily in and around fruit laden trees. They are accustomed to humans and hence can easily be found in greenery of cities as well. They avoid dense and heavy forests and rarely descend to ground.
Higher classification: Megalaima
(Bada Basanta in Hindi)
