Hello

Sorry that I have to write in english, but my dutch isen't good...

I have two Blackbrowed Barbet of the subspecie Megalaima oorti faber from Taiwan. I have just got them dna-tested and the test showed, that my birds are two males.

Here in Denmark, this is the only two birds of this kind, so I hope, that some of you might be able to help me.

Can anyone tell me, if there is any birds i Holland/Belgium of this sub specie, and even better of course, if anyone knows if there is any single females.
For me it is important to put the birds together i real pairs, so the possibility of offspring is at hand.

Hopeing to hear from some of you.

Kind regards from Denmark

Black-browed Barbet.

Megalaima Oorti.

Zwartbrauw-Baardvogel.

Dit lijkt mij iets voor Martin of Arjan Jongemans.
Ik zal ze morgen een mailtje sturen.

Hello

It's correct, that it's the Megalaima oorti, but as mentioned the subspecie faber. I will try to get a foto of the birds in a few days.

Thank's for your help so far.

Kind regards,

Hello Flemming

We did a search on the Data bank of our softbill club but as far as we know this bird is not around in Holland.

Sorry
