From Con

Fuzzy, the Red-crowned Barbet fledged today, with a fuzzy red crown. Here are a couple of images, I've been going to see this nesting for over a month, about six of us were there to see this special event. The fledgling flew several times, flight seemed strong but short (seems instinctive), but landing was a challenge (needs to be learned?). From Wells (The Birds of the Thai-Malay Peninsula, 1999, Vol 1) there can be 1 or 2 chicks, but we saw only one.
