The black-collared barbet (Lybius torquatus) is a species of bird in the family Lybiidae which is native to sub-Saharan Africa.

Indigenous names include Rooikophoutkapper in Afrikaans,[2] isiKhulukhulu and isiQonQotho in Zulu, and Isinagogo in Xhosa.

This bird is also sexually monomorphic, which means that there is generally no phenotypic difference between the males and females of this species.

In addition to the wing-flicking, the birds in the pair face each other while calling and lean forward while bowing ceremoniously to each other.

[6] It is a gregarious species, often acting in concert when driving off intruders and roosting together (up to 15 recorded) in nest holes.

Black-collared barbets can also feed on insects, centipedes, lizards, frogs and geckos, though this does not occur as often.
