The Yellow-vented Bulbul, Pycnonotus goiavier, is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is resident breeder in southeast Asia from southern Thailand and Cambodia south to Borneo and the Philippines.

It is found in a wide variety of open habitats, but not deep forest. It is one of the commonest birds in cultivated areas. It appear to be nomadic, roaming from place to place regularly.

The Yellow-vented Bulbul builds a well-camouflaged but fragile, loose, deep, cup-shaped nest from grass, leaves, roots, vine stems, and twigs. The nest is untidy on the outside, but it is neatly lined with plant fibers. it may be built in a wide range of places from low bushes to high trees. This is a species adapted to humans and may even nest in gardens. The Yellow-vented Bulbul lays 2-5 eggs in February to June.

The Yellow-vented Bulbuls eats berries and small fruits. They also sip nectar, nibble on young shoots, and take some insects.

Hi Terry,

I'm really learning about the world through photography here in TL. Now I know how does a Bulbul look like.. LOL.. You made the best use of your location and angle from the bird and it turned out rather well actually. Colour maybe a little fade but details are sharp and I could actually see the feather detailing. About that look on the bird's face, it looks rather annoyed at you doesn't it?

TFS.

Regards,
Alvin

i think this shot is too cluttered with its busy foreground and background. one can hardly see the details of the bird.

well seen.......

Hello Boom,
Jujur aku komen Boom,bagi aku Boom ni sudah baik degan menggunakan held held saja.tatap udah tangan ko atu.
Cuma ada dikit yang bloking bahagian muka sang burung ni.Kalau boleh clone lah dikit.make it the view clear lah.But bukan senang untuk clone on this part..takut tersasar ia punya detail bulu2 nya..hehehe..lain ja bunyinya.
Apa2 pon yang lain nya ok..tak ada yang tak sedap dipandang.Nak tanya dikit Boom,ini picture ko cropped kah atau kau blow up sizenya..Kalu ko cropped memang camani hasilnya,tapi kalu ko blow up ada baik lagi lah sedikit.Aku suka blow up aku punya picture,jarang2 aku crop.
