Coppersmith Barbet Megalaima haemacephala indica
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.
This species of barbet is found to overlap in range with several larger barbets in most of South Asia. In the Western Ghats, it partly overlaps with the Malabar Barbet which is of a very similar size but having a more rapid call. The red forehead, yellow eye-ring and throat patch with streaked underside and green upperparts, it is fairly distinctive. Juveniles are duller and lack the red patches. The sexes are alike. The Sri Lankan form has more black on the face, more red on the breast and darker streaks on the underside.
During the nesting season, the wear and tear on the feathers can cause the plumage of the upper back to appear bluish.
Within the Old World Megalaima barbets, they are found to be basal in phylogenetic analyses. Most of the remaining Asian species are more recent in their divergence and speciation.
About nine subspecies are well recognized.
nominate haemacephala (P. L. S. Müller, 1776) is found in the Islands of the Luzon and Mindoro in the Philippines
indica (Latham, 1790) is found in the Indian Subcontinent form northeastern Pakistan and extends into Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Several former supspecies from India are synonymized into indica.
Throughout their wide range they are found in gardens, groves and sparse woodland. Habitats with trees having dead wood suitable for excavation is said to be important. Birds nest and roost in cavities.
In the Palni Hills of southern India it is said to occur below 4000 feet.In the Himalayas it is found mainly in the valleys of the outer Himalayas up to 3000 feet. They are rare in the dry desert zones and the very wet forests.[
Keeps solitary, pairs, or small groups; larger parties occasionally on abundantly fruiting Ficus trees. Fond of sunning themselves in the morning on bare top branches of tall trees, often flitting about to sit next to each other. The flight is straight, with rapid flaps.
They compete with other cavity nesting birds and frugivores. Megalaima asiatica have been noted to evict them from their nest holes, while Red-vented Bulbuls have been seen to indulge in kleptoparasitism, robbing the male of berries brought to the female at the nest.
The nest holes are also used for roosting and some birds roost alone in cavities and these often roost during part of the day. Immatures will roost with the parents but often return to roost early so as not to be prevented by the parents from entering the roost cavity.
The call is a loud rather metallic tuk…tuk…tuk (or tunk), reminiscent of a copper sheet being beaten, giving the bird its name. Repeated monotonously for long periods, starting with a subdued tuk and building up to an even volume and tempo, the latter varying from 108 to 121 per minute and can continue with as many as 204 notes. They are silent and do not call in winter.
The beak remains shut during each call - a patch of bare skin on both sides of the throat inflates and collapses with each tuk like a rubber bulb and the head is bobbed.
Prefers Banyan, Peepul, and other wild figs, various drupes and berries, and the occasional insect, caught in aerial sallies.Petals of flowers may also be included in their diet. They eat nearly 1.5 to nearly 3 times their body weight it berries each day.
Courtship involves singing, puffing of the throat, bobbing of the head, flicking of the tail, ritual feeding and allopreening.
They breed through much of the year with local variation. The breeding season is mainly February to April in India and December to September in Sri Lanka. Both sexes excavate the nest on the underside of a narrow horizontal branch. They may also roost inside the nest holes.Three or four eggs are laid and like in many hole nesting birds the incubation period is not well known but has been estimated to be about 2 weeks. Both sexes incubate. Often two broods are raised in quick succession.
Adult birds are sometimes taken by predatory species. In urban areas, there are records of collisions with structures including white walls.Pesticide poisoning has also been noted.

Hmmmmmmm! Love the smell of wild garlic. Really fortunate that there is loads growing around Scarborough.
We were lucky to spot the endangered African Wild Dog in Kruger Park, which is home to one of the four populations in Africa.

Aryo is a young male Sumatran tiger in Burgers Zoo (Arnhem, the Netherlands).
Aryo (an Indonesian name meaning hero) was one of a litter of four rare Sumatran tigers, born on 5th February 2009 in Paignton Zoo (England) to father Tenang and mother Banda.
Aryo lives in Burgers Zoo with the young female Jarum, born 4th August 2008 in Krefeld Zoo (Germany).
Burgers Zoo, Paignton Zoo and Krefeld Zoo are members of the European Endangered species Programme (EEP) for Sumatran tigers, which means it is part of the global effort to save this endangered species from extinction. The World Wildlife Fund has estimated there are now less than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. The animals have been endangered by loss of habitat and poaching. About 250 Sumatran tigers live in zoos.
The Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies of tiger found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The Sumatran Tiger is the smallest of all extant tiger subspecies. Male Sumatran Tigers average 204 cm in length from head to tail and weigh about 136 kg. Females average 198 cm in length and weigh about 91 kg. Its small size makes it easier to move through dense rain forests. Its stripes are narrower than other subspecies of tigers' stripes, and it has a more bearded and maned appearance, especially the males.

Aryo is een jonge mannelijke Sumatraanse tijger in Burgers Zoo.
Aryo (een Indonesische naam voor “held”) komt uit een nest van vier zeldzame Sumatraanse tijgers, twee mannetjes en twee vrouwtjes, geboren op 5 februari 2009 in Paignton Zoo (Engeland). Zijn vader is Tenang en zijn moeder Banda. Aryo leeft in Burgers Zoo samen met het jonge vrouwtje Jarum, geboren op 4 augustus 2008 in de Krefeld Zoo (Duitsland).
Burgers Zoo, Paignton Zoo en Krefeld Zoo zijn lid van de European Endangered species Programme (EEP) voor de Sumatraanse tijgers, wat betekent dat ze deel uitmaken van de wereldwijde inspanningen om deze bedreigde diersoort voor uitsterven te behoeden. Het Wereld Natuur Fonds heeft becijferd zijn er nu minder dan 400 Sumatraanse tijgers in het wild leven. De dieren zijn bedreigd door verlies van natuurlijke leefgebieden en door stroperij. Ongeveer 250 Sumatraanse tijgers worden in dierentuinen gehouden. Naast Burgers Zoo in Nederland ook in Diergaarde Blijdorp.
De Sumatraanse tijger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is een ondersoort van de tijger die alleen voorkomt op Sumatra. Deze ondersoort is kleiner dan de andere ondersoorten en heeft een donkerbruine kleur. De mannetjes kunnen een totaallengte van 204 cm en een gewicht van 136 kg bereiken, de vrouwtjes 198 cm en 91 kg. Verder is de vacht donkeroranje. Het strepenpatroon bestaat vaak uit twee parallelle rijen.______________________________________________________________________________
