This bird sounds like a tiny hammer striking metal in the trees.
The Coppersmith Barbet lives across South and Southeast Asia, repeating a steady “tuk-tuk-tuk” call that sounds like a coppersmith at work. Its bright green body and red forehead blend surprisingly well among leaves and fruit trees.
A tiny forest blacksmith, yet one of the most recognizable voices of the tropics.
