April 9, 2024 - Olive-winged Bulbul (Pycnonotus plumosus) These bulbuls are found in a variety of habitats including forests, scrub, and grasslands across parts of Southeast Asia. Foraging alone, in pairs, or sometimes in family groups, they eat berries, fruit, seeds, and invertebrates. They build deep cup-shaped nests from dead leaves, creeper stems, fine fibers, and grass, often decorated with bamboo leaves. Females lay clutches of two eggs.

Red-whiskered Bulbul

Hi!

Her name is Tudu and she's the ugliest baby bulbul on this site. Would you like to be her friend please?

I am smooching her little head and telling her she is a good girl.

its strange but today i found out that for me a movie like bulbul has become a comfort film. in some strange way, it is so soothing & consoling. perhaps, it’s the familiarity to bulbul’s life that most women resonate with.

shoved into the unknown since a tender age, she was still able to nurture her innocence. but the dreadful clouds of peril always loomed nearby, whispering that she must proceed carefully. somehow she was aware that a storm would occur, drenching her in a deep shade of red, coursing through her with heartbreak, rage & violence.

despite the gut wrenching visuals and story, it is but a female fantasy. one may ask how something so grotesque could be called such a thing. yes, it’s a saga of a woman as her nativity dies mercilessly. but she’s also offered the gift of vengeance in which she succeeds.

it is rare to see such a raw and authentic portrayal of female rage and the ability to express it so freely. in her placid smile and her hungry eyes she harbours contempt and wrath but she swallows it relentlessly; for she knows that such secrets must be kept in the badi haveli.

Plum blossoms and Bulbul

It looks like a bulbul is yelling at azure-winged magpies :

"These apricot blossoms are all mine, don't even try to steal it!"

Sometimes their chirping sounds can be a little bit loud...

awesome! <^⌔^>

Brown-eared bulbul (Hypsipetes amaurotis)

Azure-winged magpie (Cyanopica cyanus)

Physically I am here, mentally I am a thakurain of an old village running down the stairs of my baari at night with my ghungroo echoing as I hear that one lovely peasant boy singing his new raag just at the outskirts of my land, my hands trembling around the dagger I am about to gift him as a token of my love for him.

January 16, 2024 - Yellow-whiskered Greenbul or Yellow-whiskered Bulbul (Eurillas latirostris) These greenbuls are found in and around forests, scrub, and gardens in western and central Africa. They feed on fruit, invertebrates, and small vertebrates, such as frogs and geckos, foraging alone and sometimes joining mixed-species flocks at fruiting trees and ant swarms. Their breeding behavior varies throughout their range, in some areas they are monogamous and territorial, in others they may breed cooperatively and males display at leks. They build loose cup-shaped nests from twigs, rootlets, bark, plant fibers, dry grass, and fine roots held together with cobwebs and fungus. Females incubate the eggs and feed the chicks alone in some populations and both parents feed them in others.
