Ok Then you get it better isn't it?
The size seems to be pretty big!! It is a wonderful bird.
Nice photo of a very interesting bird.
Great capture of a very striking bird Tabib! Is this a common bird in Malaysia?
Yes, this bird is quite a common bird at my backyard.
Size at 30cm, the largest of the sixteen species of barbets in Southeast Asia.
Nice mix of colours with the green.
A very colourful bird and like the Kingfisher, his beak looks too big for his body.
That is beautiful and colorful bird!
Great shot of a very colorful bird!
Beautiful shot, Tabib. I was also thinking this bird looks a lot like our Kingfishers, with that oversized and seemingly powerful bill. Are they fishing birds?
Beautiful shot yet again...Not easy to photograph them. Salute!
Excellent photo Tabib! I would love to add that bird to my life list.
What a lovely and interesting bird to have in your back yard!
