Double-Toothed Barbet Portrait

2023 | Digital Photograph

Double-toothed Barbets build their nests in the tree cavities, preferring old Acacia trees. Parents employ the help of the previous seasons young to help find food and defend their territory. So when you find a nest site of these beautiful barbets you often find at least 4-8 birds. This barbet took an interest in me as I set up my camera and tripod near a nest site. It was probably wondering what I was, and if I was a threat to the family. It stayed for a few minutes before returning to the nest.

The original artwork is available as one of ten limited edition photographic prints on matte paper, signed and numbered by the artist, and finished with an 8cm mat board behind glass, within a black or white frame of 2.5cm. The approx. dimensions of the framed photo are 37 x 30 cm. It is also available as KomezArt print reproductions on canvas or foam. 10% of the artist's profits from sales of this work will be donated to the Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association.
