白頭翁（學名：Pycnonotus sinensis）
zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/%e7%99%bd%e9%a0%ad%e7%bf%81
白頭翁棲於海拔1000公尺以下都市之公園、學校、庭院，鄉村之樹林，山坡稀落之闊葉樹林及農田、果園之樹上.白頭翁的族群數數量甚多，在低海拔地區處處可見。 春季白頭翁的繁殖前，會在樹林上空追逐，進入繁殖期則會配對成雙。在繁殖期後的秋冬季節，白頭翁聚集於樹林上宣噪，常引起人們的注意。這種群聚的現象，到春季時又分散了。白頭翁以漿果和種子為主食，並常侵入果園啄食果實。白頭翁喜歡將巢築在相思樹或榕樹上，築巢的材料多以各種細軟的草根，榕樹的氣根，相思樹葉. 白頭翁一窩產3~4枚蛋蛋淺褐色有棕紅色之污斑，蛋經親鳥孵約二個星期，幼雛便破殼而出，幼雛由雙親餵以昆蟲，幼雛經約二個星期的餵養，即可離巢飛出。

It is resident breeder across the Indian Subcontinent, including Sri Lanka extending east to Burma and parts of Tibet.The Red-vented Bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white.
Pycnonotus squamatus-The Scaly-breasted Bulbul is a species of songbirds in the Pycnonotidae family. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical lowland forests.

The common bulbul (Pycnonotus barbatus) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a ubiquitous resident breeder throughout Africa. Other names include black-eyed bulbul and common garden bulbul.
The bill is fairly short and thin, with a slightly downcurving upper mandible. The bill, legs, and feet are black and the eye is dark brown with a dark eye-ring, which is not readily visible.
The dark-capped bulbul is mostly greyish-brown above and whitish-brown below, with a distinctive dark head and pointy crest on top of the head. The back of the head merges into the brown of the back, and the chin is also blackish. The underparts are grey-brown apart from white around the vent (yellow in P. b. tricolor). It is about 18 cm in length, with a long tail. It has a dark brown head and upper parts. Sexes are similar in plumage.

Binomial name
Pycnonotus flavescens
Brownish-yellow bulbul with a faint white eyebrow and a weakly tufted crest. Roams about in pairs or small groups, sometimes associating with other species. Prefers open forest and edge habitat over dense mature forests. Often found in scrubbier, less pristine habitats than other bulbuls in its range, though tends not to occur in cities as readily as Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls; a regular visitor of rural gardens and farm edges. Simple song consists of alternating sharp whistles, warbled notes, and buzzy gurgling. Also gives harsh low buzzing calls. Its name comes from flavescent, a yellowish colour. It is found in south-eastern Asia.
The black-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus atriceps) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in forests in south-east Asia. It has a mainly olive-yellow plumage with a glossy bluish-black head. A grey morph where most of the olive-yellow is replaced by grey also exists. The distinctive taxon from the Andamans has most of the head olive, and is increasingly treated as a separate species, the Andaman bulbul, (P. fuscoflavescens). The black-headed bulbul resembles the black-crested bulbul, but has blue eyes (though not reliable in juveniles), a broad yellow tip to the tail, and never shows a crest (however, some subspecies of the black-crested are also essentially crestless, but they have red or yellow throats). The black-headed bulbul mainly feeds on small fruit and berries, but will also take insects. It commonly occurs in small flocks, comprising 6-8 individuals.

This Flavescent Bulbul (Pycnonotus flavescens) was photographed in the mountains of Thailand's Kaeng Krachan National Park in January 2012.
The textbooks would tell you that the Flavescent Bulbul (Pycnonotus flavescens) is seen only at elevations above 900 metres (3000 feet), which makes it one of the less common bulbuls of south-east Asia. This one, however, didn’t read the textbook, as the GPS put it about 750 metres above sea level.
There are 130 bulbul species which inhabit Asia and Africa, with 35 being found in Thailand. Of the 19 I saw, this is perhaps the plainest. The word ‘flavescent’ means ‘yellowish’, from the word ‘flavum’ or ‘yellow’, if I correctly recall my high school latin. It is identified by a flavescent belly and yellowish-olive back, complemented by a grey head and a short, white supercilium. Like most bulbuls, it does perch in one spot long enough to get a reasonable photo.
