Crested Barbet

Trachyphonus vaillanti

Description:

Shaggy crest, yellow face speckled with red. These are almost clown like.

Notes:

This was a regular at our bungalow, trying to talk us into a scrap of food. A strict no-no in the park!

These used to come into our garden when we lived in J'burg and Bronkerspruit - Great energetic bird on the table.
