Summary
A captive-bred pair of sibling pied barbets (Tricholaema l. leucomelan), had its first egg laid at 218 days of age and successfully reared 2 young. After fledging, and prior to breeding the pair had killed a third sib, with which it had been living. — Another pair (parents of the former) responded on two occasions to a suitable trunk with immediate excavation of a hole and commenced laying 11 and 16 days later, respectively.
