Light-vented Bulbul Fledgling

Pycnonotus sinensis (fledgling)

Light-vented Bulbul Fledgling

A fledgling has left the nest but still stays close to dense garden shrubs, orchard trees, and woodland edges. It makes short fluttering flights between branches while following its parents and calling for food. Its diet shifts toward small insects, berries, and soft fruits as it learns to forage independently. The short tail and duller juvenile plumage make it less agile and less striking than the adult.
