Barbets and toucans are a group of near passerinebirds with a worldwide tropical distribution. The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills.
The Crimson-fronted Barbet is an arboreal species of open woodland which eats fruit and insects. It nests in a treehole, laying 2-4 eggs.
This is a small barbet at 15 cm. It is a plump bird with a short neck, large head and short tail. The adult Crimson-fronted Barbet has a mainly green body and wing plumage, a blue band down the side of the head and neck, and a black crescent behind the eye.
