五色鳥Muller's Barbet by Hiyashi Haka

1

學名：Megalaima oorti

英名: Muller's Barbet (Black-browed Barbet)

Family: Capitonidae (鬚鴷科), Length: 20~23 cm.

俗稱花和尚。身上大致為豔綠色.而頭部與部紅.黃.藍.黑等顏色.棲息於闊葉林中，形成良好的保護色，不易被發現。喜歡鳴唱而其叫聲有如何上敲擊木魚的咯咯聲,故名之。

五色鳥喜歡住在乾燥而通風的地方。牠們和啄木鳥一樣，會在枯木或枯枝上打洞築巢，因為枯木含水量較低，較不易滋生寄生蟲。分布於海拔2500公尺以下之闊葉林、雜木林或次生林中上層，為台灣普遍之特有亞種留鳥。

The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae. It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan. It is sometimes treated as a separate species, the Indochinese Barbet. It inhabits tropical and subtropical forests. It forages in the upper and middle levels of the canopy. It excavates a nest hole in a tree but little else is known about its breeding habits.

Taiwan Barbet Foraging for Nestling by a-giau

Apparently collecting insects for one or more nestlings. The adults themselves are normally herbivores.

昆蟲似乎是育雛用的（沒看到巢位）。兩隻成鳥咬著昆蟲在茂密的高樹枝上徘徊，後來我發現有隻鳳頭蒼鷹在那一帶，或許是這個原因讓牠們不敢回家。

The coppersmith barbet, crimson-breasted barbet or coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged termites.

Coppersmith Barbet

Megalaima haemacephala

This bird has an interesting call. It is a monotonous metallic sound like a coppersmith banging a sheet. Hence the name. Mumbai city in India has made this bird its official bird.

Though this is not a rare bird, I have not been able to capture it camera though I have tried for a long time. Finally one more to the collection.
