About These Birds

Black-headed Bulbul

The Black-headed Bulbul is a medium-sized bulbul with glossy black head, vivid yellow-green body plumage, and a blue-gray orbital ring that gives it a distinctive expression. It inhabits lowland and submontane forests, forest edges, and secondary growth from the eastern Himalayas through mainland Southeast Asia to the Greater Sundas. It feeds on berries, small fruits, and insects in the forest canopy and midstory.

Angola Greenbul

The Angola Greenbul is a near-threatened bulbul with a 15.2 cm wingspan, weighing 24.5 grams, restricted to Angola and adjacent areas. It inhabits forest and dense woodland, foraging for insects and small fruits. Its limited range makes it vulnerable to deforestation.
