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 →

Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Red-vented Barbet sighting in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, based on 162 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 159 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Red-vented Barbet in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, against about 20% in May, the lowest month. That is one of Cuc Phuong National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 390 mm in August. July has too few records to rate.
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.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Red-vented Barbet sightings, Cuc Phuong National Park has the highest daily chance: about 50%. Next come Cat Tien National Park (Vietnam, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-vented Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Cuc Phuong National Park (162 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.
