The Coppersmith Barbet, Crimson-breasted Barbet or Coppersmith
(Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat
which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to
a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in
South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they
chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly
fruit eating but will take sometimes insects, especially winged
termites.
