Lybius melanopterus

Description:

Meet our backyard residents. These husband and wife barbets call our avocado tree their home. They subsist on fruits and berries and especially love our neighbor's mulberries.

Thanks, Adam. I got more photos of this bird since a couple of them just live in a hole of a dead branch of our avocado tree. I wonder if they have babies in it.
