Red-whiskered Bulbul
Pycnonotus jocosus
The adult Red-whiskered Bulbul is a crested songbird of open woodland, scrub, orchards, parks, and gardens across much of tropical Asia, with introduced populations in several other regions. It feeds mainly on berries and other fruit, but also takes nectar and small insects. Adults are agile perchers and short-distance fliers, often moving quickly through foliage and giving loud calls from exposed branches. Its pointed black crest, white cheek, and red cheek patch make it one of the most recognizable bulbuls.
