White-Cheeked Barbet
Clicked in the backyard. Like many other Asian Barbets, the White-cheeked Barbets are green, sit still, and perch upright, making them difficult to spot. The birds are mostly frugivorous, feeding on the fruits of various Ficus species and other introduced fruit trees. Also known to consume insects opportunistically. They play an important role in forests as seed dispersal agents. The white patch around the ear-coverts gives them their name.
