It is native to eastern Africa where it is found in wooded and scrubby areas. DescriptionThe black-billed wood hoopoe is very similar to the green wood hoopoe (Phoeniculus purpureus) in appearance, but lacks the greenish gloss on the head and mantle and has a black beak rather than a red one, though there is sometimes a reddish tinge at the base of the beak. The sexes are similar and the adult bird is about {{convert|37|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} long. The plumage is generally black with a bluish or purplish gloss, and a row of white spots on the flight feathers giving a white bar on the wings in flight. The long, graduated tail has white spots at the edge.[2] Distribution and habitatIt is found in eastern Africa, its range including Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan at altitudes of up to about {{convert|2000|m|ft|-2|abbr=on}}.[1] It is a bird of woodland, scrubby areas, forest edges, and gallery forests, and among large trees such as Acacias growing in wadis.[2] EcologyThe black-billed wood hoopoe feeds on arthropods, millipedes, beetles and other invertebrates, foraging on trunks and branches by creeping along the bark, sometimes upside-down, and probing into crevices. It breeds in holes in trees.[3] StatusThe black-billed wood hoopoe is a common bird and has a very wide range. Its population trend has not been quantified but it may be decreasing because the large trees in which it nests are becoming more scarce as a result of being harvested. No other particular threats to this bird are known and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".[1] References1. ^1 2 {{IUCN|id=22682678 |title=Phoeniculus somaliensis |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2016.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=24 November 2016}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q941497}}{{DEFAULTSORT:hoopoe, wood, black-billed}}2. ^1 {{cite book|author1=Terry Stevenson|author2=John Fanshawe|title=Birds of East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jcN1OCKC-bQC&pg=PA222 |year=2004|publisher=A&C Black |isbn=978-0-7136-7347-0 |pages=238–239}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.hbw.com/node/55875 |title=Black-billed Woodhoopoe (Phoeniculus somaliensis) |author1=Ligon, D. |author2=Kirwan, G.M. |work=Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive |publisher=Lynx Edicions, Barcelona |accessdate=24 November 2016}} 4 : Phoeniculus|Birds of the Horn of Africa|Birds described in 1901|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
