Barbet's Nesting Box - Where the Sisal Stem Serenades Begin!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Alan Weaving, we witness a truly remarkable moment in the avian world. Meet ASW-4441, the charismatic Black-collared Barbet from Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. This feathered maestro is not just any ordinary bird; it's a social superstar with an impressive set of skills! Perched proudly on its custom-made nesting box crafted from sisal stem, our barbet friend showcases its cooperative breeding nature. But that's not all! With synchronized precision and impeccable timing, this frugivorous songbird belts out harmonious duets that will leave you spellbound. As we delve deeper into their habitat preferences, it becomes evident that these barbets are true forest connoisseurs. From woodland to riparian and even coastal dune forests, they have claimed their territory far and wide - stretching from coastal Kenya all the way west to southern DRC and Angola. And let's not forget their journey south through Zimbabwe until they finally reach their destination in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. With such a wide distribution range and an enchanting repertoire of melodies at their disposal, it's no wonder why these black-collared beauties have become local celebrities among wildlife enthusiasts like us! So next time you stumble upon one of these marvelous nest boxes or hear a symphony echoing through the trees – remember to give credit where credit
