‘The habits of all the Barbets are very similar, and what is said of one 
will equally apply to most of the others. With the exception of Xantbolaema 
haematocephala and Mesobucco duvauceli which are frequently found in orchards, 
and Thereiceryx hodgsoni which inhabits the coastal belt, they are usually 
inhabitants of old jungle, though, when certain trees, more especially figs, are 
in fruit, they may be found in the environs of villages. The peculiar clanking 
calls which are so characteristic a sound in Malay forests, are probably referable 
to Barbets, but it is difficult to say with certainty, as the birds invariably 
become silent when the tree in which they are feeding is approached. They 
are shy and retiring and exceedingly difficult to localize among the branches, 
notwithstanding their gaudy colours/
