About the Yellow-fronted Barbet
The yellow-fronted barbet (Psilopogon flavifrons) is an Asian barbet, which is an endemic resident breeder in Sri Lanka, where it inhabits subtropical and tropical moist forests, wetlands, plantations and rural gardens up to an altitude of 2,000 m (6,600 ft). It has green plumage with a yellow crown and blue patches below the eyes, on the throat and the chin. It is 21–22 cm (8.3–8.7 in) long and weighs 57–60 g (2.0–2.1 oz). It feeds on berries, fruits and occasionally insects. It nests in a tree hole, where it lays 2-3 eggs. The yellow-fronted barbet appears on a 5 rupee Sri Lankan postal stamp.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 46 recordings for this species: 31 CC BY-NC-SA · 15 CC BY-NC-ND. 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.
