the red whiskered or crested Bulbul

Crested Bulbul or the red-whiskered BulBul -(Pycnonotus jocosus). This pretty bird is a common sight in Hong Kong, found everywhere from woodland to gardens. They are not only frugivores (furit eaters), they also enjoy a tasty insect. still favoured as a pet today, they are known to live for up to eleven years in captivity. They have a rather chivalrous courtship, where the male bows his bead, drops his wings and spreads his tail. In Hong Kong they breed from April till June.
