A 'thinking' barbet

It's always great to see a park well maintained but in the case of the taman, unfortunately it also means damage to birds' habitat, especially those that build in trees.  Birds are smart creatures that choose their home carefully, and when maintenance work is carried out, in one single move, we do destroy their home forever.  
When I hear, more often than see, the calls of the Lineated Barbet, I recall the last images of them at their hole tree which looks like it's abandoned now.
What's special about this home is that the Barbet had cleverly chosen a twig that had grown right in front of the hole which had enabled the bird to leverage on it for its flight in and out of the hole.  Unfortunately this twig was axed off when the tree was trimmed.

It certainly looked cosy, a set-up that had enabled the birds a perfect 'indoor' and 'outdoor' space.
