The Crested barbet is a sub-Saharan bird in the 'Lybiidae' family. Its specific name commemorates François Levaillant, a famed French naturalist. With its thick bill and very colourful plumage the crested barbet is unmistakable. This small bird has a speckled yellow and red face with a small black crest. The belly is yellow with red speckles, wings are black with white specks and it has a broad black band on its neck. Yellow head and body with black and white feathers, red markings on end of body, its colour blends well in the bush.
They feed on insects, other birds' eggs and fruits and sometimes mice. They nest in a hole in a tree or a log in a suburban garden. They are monogamous and territorial during breeding. Territory size varies according to their habitat. One to five eggs are laid at daily intervals between September to December. Incubation lasts between 13 to17 days, beginning with the second or third egg. The young hatch blind and are fed insects by both parents.
They like to bounce around on the ground looking for food, they usually call from a branch out in the open. They do not fly easily and then only for short distances. They are very vocal, the call being a trill that can continue for long periods. They are found in forests, savannah, suburban gardens, woodland thickets and watercourses in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
