Africa is the home of D’Arnaud’s Barbet, whose Latin name is Trachyphonus Darnaudil. Barbets are a kind of near passerine bird that is found in tropical regions worldwide, along with toucans. The bristles that border the hefty bills of barbets are the source of its name.

The barbets thrive in both treetop and ground environments, reaching a maximum height of around 8 inches. They dig a tunnel about two to three feet long that leads to the nesting chamber in their ground-based nest. Males and females engage in an eye-catching, toy-like dance that includes bobs, weaves, twitches, and sings during courtship.
