Scientific name: Lybius dubius (JF Gmelin, 1788).
One of the most unusual of the 42 species of barbet found in Africa, the Bearded Barbet has black feathery whiskers resembling a beard around its bill.
Whenever several bearded barbets get together, they engage in spirited displays, swinging their tails, showing their white flank patches, and bowing up and down.
They feed chiefly on tree fruits and palm nuts, but are also know to dine on termites and other insects.
