Final answer:

Bird species like the woodpecker, nuthatch, owl, parrot, and starling often make their nests in tree trunks, similar to the barbet.


Step-by-step explanation:

Many bird species make their nests in a tree trunk as the barbet; here are five of them:

  1. Woodpeckers: This group of birds is famous for their ability to chisel into tree trunks and hollow out nesting cavities.
  2. Nuthatches: Several species of nuthatches are known to nest in tree cavities they find or occasionally excavate.
  3. Owls: Some species, like the screech owl and the barred owl, prefer to nest in hollows in tree trunks.
  4. Parrots: There are several parrot species, like the Maroon-fronted Parrot, which nest in holes in tree trunks.
  5. Starlings: While they're often considered pests, starlings frequently nest in natural or woodpecker-made tree cavities.
