EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a synchronized duet! This Black-collared Barbet knows how to make some serious noise at the entrance of its cozy nest. Made from a sisal stem, this nesting box is the perfect home for this frugivorous bird who also enjoys snacking on insects. You can find these social creatures in woodland, riparian, and coastal dune forests across a wide distribution area spanning from coastal Kenya all the way to southern DRC and Angola. They even venture south through Zimbabwe to Eastern Cape in South Africa. Captured by Alan Weaving in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa, this print showcases the beauty of nature's architects. These Lybiidae birds are hole nesters and cooperative breeders - truly embodying teamwork! Just look at those heads peeking out of their humble abode! With their striking black collars and vibrant feathers, it's no wonder they catch everyone's attention. African wildlife never fails to amaze us with its diversity. So next time you're exploring the great outdoors or simply admiring stunning wildlife photography like this one (not affiliated with any company), take a moment to appreciate these incredible barbets as they sing harmonious melodies while guarding their precious nests.
