The Black-browed is an Asian barbet native to Peninsular Malaysia & Sumatra, where it inhabits foremost forests between 600 and 2,000 m altitude. A loud but sluggish & difficult-to-see canopy inhabitant of highland forests in peninsular Malaysia & Sumatra. Note the leaf-green body, brightly coloured face, & heavy black bill. More often heard than seen; listen for its long, unending series of hollow-sounding notes. Like many other barbets, it can be difficult to locate when singing, but can sometimes be seen at fruiting trees. Formerly regarded as the same species as Taiwan, Indochinese, and Chinese Barbets.

The White-cheeked Barbet (Psilopogon viridis) is a green barbet found only in southern India. Note the dark brown head & the characteristic white patch around the ear-coverts, a white line above the eye, and a white throat. Also note the brown neck and breast with white streaks. This barbet is heard more often than seen with constant calls of “kutrook-kutrook-kutrook” in mid-day hours from all kinds of wooded patches.

The Golden-throated Barbet is an Asian barbet native to Southeast Asia, where it inhabits foremost forests between 900 and 2,700 m. It is a large green barbet with a broad black bandit’s mask, a pale gray face, and a black-and-yellow crown. Usually encountered foraging quietly or sitting still in the canopy. The song is usually a long steady series of loud hiccupping two-syllabled hoots, but these sometimes sound more plaintive and whistled.

The Fire-tufted Barbet is a beautiful emerald-green barbet with silvery cheeks, a white forehead, and a black chinstrap. A small and often difficult to see reddish tuft above the base of the bill gives the bird its name. The bulbous horn-coloured bill has a large dark smudge down the center and it has a strange song which is a loud accelerating creaking that is reminiscent of rusty machinery revving up.
