The Red-vented Bulbul was originally described by Linnaeus in 1766. Several populations of this widespread species have been named as subspecies (or races). The nominate race is found in southern India.[3] The type locality of Puducherry was designated by Erwin Stresemann.[4]
বিৱৰণ
The Red-vented Bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white. The Himalayan races have a more prominent crest and are more streaked on the underside.[5]
বিতৰণ
In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. A study based on 54 localities in India concluded that vegetation is the single most important factor that determines the distribution of the species.[6]
It has been introduced into Hawaii, Fiji and New Zealand.
বাসস্থান
This is a bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands.[7] They were introduced to Samoa in 1943 and became common on Upolu by 1957. Red-vented Bulbuls were introduced to Fiji around 1903 by indentured labourers from India.[8]

খাদ্য
Red-vented bulbuls feed on fruits, petals of flowers,[9] nectar, insects and occasionally geckos.[10][11]
প্ৰজনন
Red-vented bulbuls build their nests in bushes at a height of around 2–3 m (7–10 ft; two or three eggs is a typical clutch. Nests are occasionally built inside houses[12][13] or in a hole in a mud bank.[14]
They breed from June to September. The eggs are pale-pinkish with spots of darker red more dense at the broad end.[15] They are capable of having multiple clutches in a year. Nests are small flat cups made of small twigs but sometimes making use of metal wires.[16] The eggs hatch after about 14 days.[17] Both parents feed the chicks and on feeding trips wait for the young to excrete, swallowing the faecal sacs produced.[18] The Pied Crested Cuckoo is a brood parasite of this species.[19]
