This photo was taken just outside my dining room window. I set the camera near window and wait for the bird to enter the frame. Normally we can found this kind of bird very often..we can see them around our garden...in open habitats.
The
Yellow-vented Bulbul (
Pycnonotus goiavier) is a member of the
bulbul family of
passerine birds. It is resident breeder in southeast Asia from southern
Thailand and
Cambodia south to
Borneo and the
Philippines.
It is found in a wide variety of open habitats, but not deep forest.
It is one of the most common birds in cultivated areas. They appear to
be nomadic, roaming from place to place regularly.
The Yellow-vented Bulbul builds a well-camouflaged but fragile,
loose, deep, cup-shaped nest from grass, leaves, roots, vine stems, and
twigs. The nest is untidy on the outside, but it is neatly lined with
plant fibers. It may be built in a wide range of places from low bushes
to high trees. This is a species adapted to humans and may even nest in
gardens. The Yellow-vented Bulbul lays 2-5 eggs in February to June.
The Yellow-vented Bulbuls eats berries and small fruits. They also sip nectar, nibble on young shoots, and take some
insects
These pictures was taken with Canon 40d and Canon EF 400mm f5.6L.
