Yellow-eared Bulbul

Pycnonotus bimaculatus

The Yellow-eared Bulbul (Pycnonotus bimaculatus) is a small passerine bird found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive yellow ear patch and a black stripe running through its eye. This species is a skilled vocalist, with a melodious and varied song that it uses to communicate and defend its territory. Yellow-eared Bulbuls primarily feed on fruits, insects, and nectar, and they are often seen foraging in the canopy of trees. They are social birds, often found in small flocks. Despite being relatively common in its range, habitat loss and fragmentation pose threats to the population of this species.
