The Brown-headed Barbet is an inhabitant breeder in India and Sri Lanka. It is an arboreal species which eats fruit and insects. It lays two to four eggs and nests in a tree hole. It largely feeds on mangos, ripe jack, papaya, banana and similar cultivated fruit trees, hence called as furgivorous. Its territory is urban and country gardens though it tends to avoid heavy forest. It nests in a suitable hole in a tree that it will often hollow out, like a woodpecker. A pair will take it in turns to hatch the eggs and they often speak with each other using their Kura, kura calls. It is a plump bird, with a short neck, large head and short tail and a usually large barbet at 27 cms. The adult has a speckled brown head, neck and breast, with a yellow eye patch. The rest of the plumage is green and bill is thick and red. Both male and female look alike.
