About the Bristle-nosed Barbet

The bristle-nosed barbet (Gymnobucco peli) is a bird species in the family Lybiidae. It used to be placed in the family Bucconidae (puffbirds), which has been split up; alternatively, it may be included in a vastly expanded Ramphastidae (toucans). Its range covers areas near the Gulf of Guinea (on either side of the Dahomey Gap), from eastern Sierra Leone to far northwestern Angola.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 6 recordings for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.

Listed as recorded in Gabon, Ghana in the xeno-canto catalogue.
