AI-generated zoological head study.
Overview
Male figbirds have red bare skin around the eyes, a black crown, grey neck and olive body. Northern males can have yellow fronts. Females are brown-green above, with streaked pale underparts.
Flocks feed on soft fruit, berries and insects. They inhabit rainforests, wet forests and planted urban areas. Small nesting colonies build suspended twig-and-tendril cups; both sexes incubate and feed the young.
