Alt. Common Name :
Bird Family :	Megalaiminae - Asian barbets
Bird Group :	PICIFORMES
Red Data Status :	Unspecified
Remarks :	More pictures from the fruiting ficus tree. This time access was better & many of the birds allowed closer, naked eye views. Of the Barbets feeding in the fruiting ficus tree: Blue-eared Barbet (Megalaima australis duvaucelii) – a few Gold-whiskered Barbet (Megalaima chrysopogon) – at least 4 Brown Barbet (Calorhamphus fuliginosus hayii) – at least 6 Red-Throated Barbet (Megalaima mystacophanos mystacophanos) – at least 1 There were at least 6 Brown Barbets with at least 2 of them being juveniles. The juveniles were very curious of me. I could approach the base of this tree but the juveniles were not much afraid and continued feeding or peering at me at close range. - Amar
