The red-vented barbet (Psilopogon lagrandieri) is an Asian barbet native to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, where it inhabits subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Its plumage is green to bronze-coloured. Its head is brown with greyish patches on the throat and sides and a blue line above the eyes. It has a red patch below the tail. It is 29–34 cm (11–13 in) long.
In the Lac Boc Forest of Lâm Đồng Province, Vietnam, it consumes the fruit of Ficus sp., Litsea cubeba, Campylospermum serratum, Cinnamomum sp. and Knema sp., flowers of Wrightia sp., numerous invertebrates and some vertebrates. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-vented Barbet sighting in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 211th most-seen of the 244 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-vented Barbet in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-vented Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Red-vented Barbet sightings, Cat Tien National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Cuc Phuong National Park (Vietnam, about 50%).
Same genus: Psilopogon
The closest relatives of the Red-vented Barbet that you can see in Cat Tien National Park (genus Psilopogon, Typical Asian Barbets) are Black-eared Barbet (about 50%), Green-eared Barbet (about 50%) and Coppersmith Barbet (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-vented Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Cat Tien National Park (13 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
