White-Cheeked Barbet
The White-cheeked Barbet, also called the Small Green Barbet, is one of the frequent visitors to the backyard. Found in southern India it is very similar to the more widespread Brown-headed Barbet. Though mainly frugivorous they may sometimes eat insects. They use their bills to excavate nest cavities in trees. These barbets are arboreal and will rarely visit the ground. They obtain most of the water they need from their fruit diet.
