Such a beautiful bird. I always thought barbets mainly feed on fruit, but we observed this species many times feeding on termites, ants, and other small insects. That likely explains why we often see them foraging on the ground.
这真是一只非常漂亮的鸟。我原本以为拟啄木鸟主要以果实为食，但这一次我们多次观察到它们捕食白蚁、蚂蚁和其他小型昆虫。这也可能就是我们经常在地面看到它们活动的原因。
