Why it matters
The brown-headed barbet (Psilopogon zeylanicus) is a familiar presence in South Asian gardens, recognized by its distinctive, repetitive "kutroo" call that echoes through the canopy. While its rounded wings and short tail make it less suited for long-distance flight, these adaptations serve it well as it maneuvers through the foliage to forage for fruit and insects.
