Tinkerbird
The tinkerbirds or tinker barbets are the genus ''Pogoniulus'' of the Lybiidae, the African barbet family of near passerines, which was formerly included in the Capitonidae and sometimes in the Ramphastidae. Tinkerbirds are widely distributed in tropical Africa.

It is not clear whether they belong to an extant genus, but given the late date this may well be so. Footnotes References * Mlíkovský, Jirí (2002): ''Cenozoic Birds of the World, Part 1: Europe''.

Pogoniulus Simplex
The green tinkerbird (''Pogoniulus simplex'') is a species of bird in the Lybiidae family (African barbets). It is found in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania. The Eastern Green Tinkerbird, ''Pogoniulus simplex'', (Fischer & Reichenow, 1884) is a small, dull-green tinkerbird that has been included in a broadly-defined tinkerbird genus Pogoniulus (Lafresnaye, 1842) by most recent authorities. The present paper, however, places ''simplex'', and its relative ''leucomystax'', the Moustached Green Tinkerbird, in the genus ''Viridibucco'' (Oberholser, 1905) because the plumage patterns of these two species differ markedly from other tinkerbirds and there is an indication that they have a unique, hyper-specialized diet. Until recently, the Eastern Green Tinkerbird has been known from the southern African region only on the basis of a single skin from Chicomo, Funhalouro District, Inhambane Province, Mozambique (Pinto 1959, 1960; Clancey 1971, 1996).

Pogoniulus Pusillus
The red-fronted tinkerbird, (''Pogoniulus pusillus'') is a small African barbet. Barbets are near-passerine birds with bristles around the base of the bill. They have a world-wide tropical distribution. The red-fronted tinkerbird is a widespread and frequently common resident breeder in eastern South Africa, with a separate population from southern Sudan and Ethiopia south to central and eastern Tanzania. It is sometimes considered conspecific with its northern counterpart, the yellow-fronted tinkerbird, ''Pogoniulus chrysoconus''. The red-fronted tinkerbird is associated with juniper forest and scrub. It nests in a tree hole and lays two or three eggs. It eats berries and fruit, particularly mistletoe, but also takes insects as it forages in deep cover. The red-fronted tinkerbird is in length. It is a plump bird, with a short neck, large head, and short tail. The adult has black upper parts heavily streaked with yellow and white, and a golden wing patch. Its head has a strong ...
