The plumage is without dispute the first thing that makes birds easy to spot from amongst the others. Of course, some birds have distinctive features like a mohawk or eyebrow-like stripes. But the furry suits always help them conspicuous in their colony.
Today’s story is about a gorgeous bird species in the Capitonidae family, the red-headed barbet. As its name suggests, this barbet has a vivid red head and neck, coming along with a yellow-orange chest, white belly, and olive-green wings and tail. Its beak is also yellow.
