Detailed introduction
The Golden-whiskered Barbet, scientifically known as Megalaima chrysopogon, has three subspecies.

It also eats seeds, insects, and even lizards and birds. It is a vocal bird, and its calls are loud, producing sounds similar to "tehoop tehoop-tehoop tehoop".
The breeding season for the Golden-cheeked Woodpecker is from February to August. Each nest contains two white eggs.
