Brown-headed barbet (Psilopogon zeylanicus) or large green barbet is an Asian barbet native to the Indian subcontinent, where it inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests. Arboreal in nature it inhabits gardens and wooded country where it feeds on fruits and insects. It is fairly tolerant of humans and often seen in city parks foraging on mangoes, ripe jackfruit, papaya, banana, figs and similar cultivated fruit trees. It nests in tree holes that it will often excavate. Adults have streaked brown head, neck and breast, and a yellow eye patch. The rest of the plumage is green. It has a large head, short neck and short tail.
