Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

Size is no matter

This little fella, being the smallest of Barbets at 17cm, normally chooses a tall bare branch to perch.  The Coppersmith Barbet has a loud distinct unending call which can have a person move about the taman trying to spot it, not easy in view of its camouflage greenish shades and small size.
