How do barbets hunt? (1 Viewer)

I am writing an essay about barbets and I need to know how barbets hunt. I looked all over the internet and I couldn't find a description. Anyone who has viewed them flycatching, could you please solve my mystery?

Thanks.

Lucas,
Give me a specific Barbet(s). They differ according to their habitat, and also if they are nesting. Generally frugivorous, but complement diet with Arthropods mostly.

By the way, you should forget the site where you read that. It is Herring Gull, not Herring gull.

Well, I'm writing it about coppersmith barbets in India and I'm wonder how the catch the fly.
Thanks.

Lucas,
All Barbets have a diet with an animal and plant (mostly fruits) component. The amount of the animal component increases sharply right after hatching when more noble components are necessary for growth and development of the hatch. More specifically, for the Coppersmith Barbet, the major diet component are fruits including figs, guavas, mangoes, custard-apples, berries, etc. The animal component consists of crickets, beetles, mantids and various insect larvae. The birds will opportunistically hawk (from a perch) winged termites (probably true also for winged ants) during their nuptial flight, as well as moths. They have also been seen tapping tree trunks and working over branches searching for insects.

Thanks a lot for the information.
