The family of Bulbuls is widespread in Africa including Madagascar and in South Asia. The northern species are migratory birds. The body length ranges from 15 cm to 30 cm. They have short wings and many species have a feather crest. The Bulbuls are rather poor fliers, but move around the branches quite skillfully. Their diet is mainly vegetable, but they also eat insects. The bowl-shaped nest is built from plant material deep in the bushes. The altricial nestlings are looked after by both parents.
