It is a common endemic bird there. Also known as the Seychelles black bulbul and thick-billed bulbul, it is closely allied to the Grand Comoro bulbul and the Moheli bulbul. It lives in forest and woodland from the coast up into the granitic mountains, and is found in pairs, family parties or small flocks. During breeding it is monogamous and defends a territory.
