Yellow-vented Bulbul
Pycnonotus goiavier
The yellow-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier), or eastern yellow-vented bulbul, is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in southeastern Asia from Indochina to the Philippines. It is found in a wide variety of open habitats but not in deep forests. It is one of the most common birds in cultivated areas. They appear to be nomadic and roam from place to place regularly.

What it does
The yellow-vented bulbul is adapted to human environments and even nests in gardens from low bushes to high trees. It builds a well-camouflaged but fragile, loose, deep, cup-shaped circular nest from grass, leaves, roots, vine stems, and twigs. The nest is untidy on the outside, but neatly lined with plant fibres. It lays 2–5 eggs between February and June. The yellow-vented bulbul eats berries and small fruit. It also sips nectar, nibbles on young shoots, and consumes some insects.
