About These Birds
Black Bulbul
The Black Bulbul is a widespread, noisy bulbul of South and Southeast Asian forests, with glossy black plumage, a bright red bill and feet, and a slightly forked tail. It ranges from the Himalayas through southern China and Taiwan, south to the Malay Peninsula and into Sumatra, inhabiting forest edges, secondary growth, and gardens. It feeds on berries, fruits, and insects, usually in noisy, active flocks.
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.
