A common bird found in gardens, forests, and urban areas. They are easily recognizable by their black crest and red vent. Bulbuls feed on fruits, nectar, and insects. They are important seed dispersers and contribute to plant pollination. Red-vented bulbuls are known for their melodious songs and can often be seen in pairs or small groups. They build cup-shaped nests in trees and shrubs, where they raise their young. Conservation efforts focus on preserving urban green spaces and controlling invasive species that threaten native bird populations.
