Birdie Bulbul


This guy was getting ready to attack me, As i had peeped into his nest. This Papa birdie was guarding eggs in its nest while its partner goes for a break. Its the Bulbul, The word bulbul derives from persian meaning nightingale dull-colored passerine birds with short necks and wings, native to Africa and  Asia. They inhabit grasslands and shrubby countrysides. Bulbuls are highlyvocal, with the calls of most species being described as nasal or gravelly, Bulbuls eat a wide range of different foods, ranging from fruit to seeds, nectar, small insects and other arthropods and even small vertebrates. The majority of species are frugivorous and supplement their diet with some insects.
