 Bulbul 

Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) are a family of passerine songbirds. These are mostly frugivorous birds. Some are colorful with yellow, red or orange vents, cheeks, throat or supercilia. Others are uniform olive brown to black. Some have very distinct crests.

Many of these species inhabit tree tops, while some are restricted to the undergrowth.
