The red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is a member of the bulbul family of passerines. Several populations of this widespread species have been named as subspecies (or races). The nominate race is found in southern India. Red-vented bulbuls are considered a horticultural pest species, and are an unwanted species. It is included in the list of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species. In 19th-century India these birds were frequently kept as cage pets and for fighting especially in the Carnatic region. Indians would tame it and carry it about the bazaars, tied with a string to the finger or to a little crutched perch, which is often made of precious metals or jade. And when they fought they would seize the red feathers of the opponents.
DESCRIPTION
Red-vented bulbuls are slim, starling-sized songbirds with predominantly dark plumage. They are typically bold and conspicuous, with repetitive, monotonous calls. Their slim build (35 gram in weight) and curved bill are reminiscent of a honeyeater, although they are not closely related. The two most distinctive identification features are a small erectile crest on the crown (giving them a square-headed Roman helmet look when the crest is raised) and the diagnostic bright red patch between the base of the legs and the undertail. The head, hindneck and upper breast are glossy black, with a circular brown patch over the ear. This dark hood becomes streaked or scaly on the lower breast and merges into the pale grey belly. The upper wings and mantle are mid-brown with pale margins when in fresh plumage, creating a scaly appearance. The rump is white, and the tail is long and blackish with a prominent white tip. The bill, eyes and legs are dark. The sexes are alike, although males are slightly larger. Juveniles are dull brown with an orange or pinkish (cf. red) vent.
HABITAT AND DISTRIBUTION
This is a bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands. In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. A study based on 54 localities in India concluded that vegetation is the single most important factor that determines the distribution of the species.
The natural range of the red-vented bulbul includes India, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. They have been introduced into many other part of the world, including Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, New Caledonia, Tahiti and Hawaii. Red-vented bulbuls were introduced to Fiji around 1903 by indentured labourers from India. The species has also established itself in parts of Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, the United States, Argentina and New Zealand. However, no viable wild populations are known in New Zealand; recent bulbul sightings have been reported sporadically.
ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Red-vented bulbuls are considered as pests because of their habit of damaging fruit crops. Bulbuls are also aggressive, and may impact on native species in urban areas if they become established. In addition, they can disperse the seeds of invasive plants.
FOOD
Red-vented bulbuls are omnivorous. The main diet is fruit, but insects are also taken, particularly during the breeding season. Flower petals and nectar are also consumed, and there are records of small lizards being taken on Pacific islands.
BEHAVIOUR AND ECOLOGY
Red-vented bulbuls are active and restless. They have a direct flight with rapid wingbeat, or may undulate over short distances, displaying the bold white rump. They often hawk for insects, with conspicuous fluttering beyond the foliage of shrubs and trees. Once established, red-vented bulbuls form flocks when not breeding.
BREEDING
Red-vented bulbuls build their nests in bushes at a height of around 2 to 3m. Nests are usually small flat cups made of small twigs, but sometimes making use of metal wires. Nests are occasionally built inside houses or in a hole in a mud bank. In one instance, a nest was found on a floating mat of Water hyacinth leaves and another observer noted a pair nesting inside a regularly used bus. Nests in tree cavities have also been noted.
The eggs are pale-pinkish with spots and blotches of reddish brown especially at the broad end. Bulbuls are capable of having multiple clutches in a year. A typical clutch consists of two or three eggs. The eggs hatch after about 14 days. Both parents feed the chicks and on feeding trips wait for the young to excrete, swallowing the faecal sacs produced. The pied crested cuckoo is a brood parasite of this species.

by Sekisui Watanabe (1776-1833), included in Meika Gafu (Picture Album by Celebrated Artists) – Japanese picture book edited by Tokei Mano and published in 1814.
The Cape bulbul (Pycnonotus capensis) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is an endemic resident breeder in coastal bush, open forest, gardens and fynbos in western and southern South Africa. This species nests mainly in the southern spring from September to November. The nest is thick walled cup concealed by foliage in a small tree or shrub. In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the Cape bulbul in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. He used the French name Le merle brun du Cap de Bonne Espérance and the Latin Merula Fusca Capitis Bonae Spei. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the Cape bulbul. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Turdus capensis and cited Brisson's work. The specific name capensis denotes the Cape of Good Hope. This species is now placed in the genus Pycnonotus that was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826.
The Cape bulbul is considered to belong to a superspecies along with the Himalayan bulbul, white-eared bulbul, white-spectacled bulbul, African red-eyed bulbul, and the common bulbul. Alternate names for the Cape bulbul include the Cape geelgat and two names used for other species (common and dark-capped bulbul). The Cape bulbul is 19–21 cm (7.5–8.3 in) long, mainly dull, blackish brown with a diagnostic white eye-ring, and yellow undertail coverts. The head has a small crest. The short, straight bill, legs and feet are black and the iris is dark brown. The sexes are similar in plumage.
This species is much darker than the other South African bulbuls, and differs in the eye ring colour and brown lower belly, whereas the other dark bulbuls have a pale lower belly. The dark belly helps to identify juveniles, which lack the distinctive eye ring of the adult.
The most typical call of this species is a liquid whistle of two or more varied notes pit-peet-pitmajol, piet-piet-patata.The Cape bulbul is a common and conspicuous bird, which tends to perch at the top of a bush. It is active and noisy, usually seen in pairs or small groups foraging for fruit, nectar and insects.
In part of its range, it gets parasitized by the Jacobin cuckoo. Wikipedia

Penan bulbul (Alophoixus ruficrissus), formerly the Ochraceous Bulbul (Alophoixus ochraceus ), and has been recently split .. September 2021.
"The Penan bulbul (Alophoixus ruficrissus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found Borneo. It is usually found in the mid-storey of broad-leaved evergreen and rainforests up to 1500 metres elevation." (wiki)
"A brownish-olive bulbul with a wispy crest and a puffy, glowingly white throat. Inhabits lowland and montane forests, where it prefers primary or well-aged secondary growth. Forages in the middle and lower levels of the forest, usually in small, noisy flocks. Calls consist primarily of loud, dry “chek” notes; song is pleasant and warbling. Similar to Gray-cheeked Bulbul, but darker, especially on the underparts, with a more conspicuous white throat and a longer crest." (ebird) ..
