Barbets are a group of near passerine birds with a worldwide tropical distribution. They get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills. DescriptionThis is the largest barbet at {{convert|31|–|33|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length and a weight of {{convert|192|-|295|g|oz|abbr=on}}.[2] It is a plump bird, with a short neck, large head and short tail. The adult has a blue head, large yellow bill, brown back and breast, green-streaked yellow belly and red vent. The rest of the plumage is green. Both sexes and immature birds are similar. Habitat and BreedingThe great barbet is a resident breeder in the lower-to-middle altitudes of the Himalayas, ranging across northern India, Nepal and Bhutan, Bangladesh[3] and some parts of Southeast Asia, as far away as Laos. The nesting season is from April to July. This species typically builds nests in tree holes. The male and female birds share the parental duties.[3] DietThe diet of this species is mainly fruits and insects.[3] BirdcallThe male's territorial call is a very loud kay-oh. The alarm is a harsh keeab, and another call is a repetitive piou-piou-piou-piou.
