Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis)

The Styan's Bulbul has a very similar appearance to the Light-vented Bulbul, but differ in the patterns on the head.

The Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis), also known as the Chinese Bulbul, is a bird and a member of the bulbul family.

The Light-vented Bulbul is abundant in lightly wooded areas, cultivated land and shrubland, whereas the Red-whiskered Bulbul is the common bulbul of suburbs and urban parks.

Its decline has been caused by habitat destruction and hybridisation with the closely related Chinese or Light-vented Bulbul Pycnonotus sinensis; the two species ranges overlap in several areas, partly because birds of the latter species have been released for Buddhist ceremonies.

In patches of shrubs, Chinese Bulbul can commonly be seen feeding on berries.

The Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis), also known as the Chinese Bulbul, is a bird and a member of the bulbul family.

The catchment forests are habitats for avian species such as Crested Bulbul, Chinese Bulbul, Hwamei, Oriental Magpie Robin, Chinese Francolin, Japanese Quail, Common Kingfisher, European Magpie, Crested Myna and crows.
