Slideshow of Red-vented Bulbul
The common Red-vented Bulbul lives in Mount Abu. I have observed these birds' behaviour for many a year. I know The Bulbul as the Sentinel of the area because it warns other animals with its calls when predators like Shikra and Raptors are nearby. One warning call and all the other birds make a dash for cover to cover their ass from the oncoming swooping killing machine with claws of Hades.
I love to watch their antics during their mating season. It's fascinating to see their antics of wooing. They have learnt to exist with humans and look forward to titbits offered to them.
They often hawk for insects, like the fantails around here fluttering beyond the foliage of shrubs and trees. They are known to group together in flocks but out here I have seen very strong territorial traits of the few who have taken up residence here around my house.
