A Barbet is a type of parrot that is distinguished by eye color, rounded eye down/feather colorations, throat and underbeak colors, beak shape, and plumage shape। Barbets are considered the rare lion of the parrot world। The bird song of the barbet is one of many exotic bird species whose calls and song saturate the atmosphere of the Far East। Barbets can be found in the wild, in protected bird sanctuaries, and even filling the night bazaars with chirping.
Appellations of special colors present in a barbet are used to denote that breed or special development in color, such as a white-rumped, red crested, black-browed or brown eyed barbet.

The great barbet is a larger sized barbet variety. This barbet has a larger range of flight, a wider prey base, and a natural habitat in Eastern regions where a larger hunting area is naturally protected.

Barbets in the wild can have a strong brown and black patterning most suited for camouflage in natural fern, trees, bark and brush.

A barbet parrot is a native bird of Thailand and lands in the Far East and Malaysia peninsula. The winding call and range of notes can be very pleasant to enjoy. Barbets hatch from chicks and breed them in the wild using calls to communicate. Natural call sounds fascinate parrot enthusiasts. Barbet parrots eat cooked parrot food, dry seed, and prepared mixtures. Dried fruit bits, rice, and small wheat seeds and ground dried beans make tasty feed mixtures in different combinations.
