This bird sounds like a tiny hammer striking metal all day long.
In the warm groves and city gardens of South and Southeast Asia, the Coppersmith Barbet sits high in fruiting trees, repeating its steady “tuk… tuk… tuk” call with clockwork rhythm. It feeds on figs and berries, occasionally taking insects, moving quietly through the canopy between bursts of sound. What makes it extraordinary is that metallic call — so regular it once reminded people of a coppersmith at work, giving the bird its name. A small green presence among the leaves, yet a constant heartbeat of the treetops.
