Details
The Black-crested Bulbul, Pycnonotus melanicterus, is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia. This is a bird of forest and dense scrub. It builds its nest in a bush; two to four eggs is a typical clutch. The Black-crested Bulbul feeds on fruit and insects. The Black-crested Bulbul is about 19 cm in length, including its relatively long tail. It has olive upperparts and yellow or olive-yellow underparts. The head is black. Sexes are similar in plumage, but young birds are duller than adults. The flight is bouncing and woodpecker-like. There are several distinctive taxa that generally have been considered subspecies of the Black-crested Bulbul, but increasingly are treated as separate species: The Ruby-throated Bulbul from Sumatra and Java is virtually crestless, has a deep red throat and reddish eyes, the Flame-throated Bulbul from the Western Ghats in India is virtually crestless, has an orange-red throat and whitish eyes.
