Red-whiskered Bulbul

Description:

Red-whiskered Bulbul sitting on eggs. I was visiting relatives and could spot this in their compound. Good that I had camera so that I could capture this.

Habitat:

This is a bird of lightly wooded areas, more open country with bushes and shrubs, and farmland. Irruptions have been noted from early times with Thomas C. Jerdon noting that they "periodically visiting Madras and other wooded towns in large flocks." It has established itself in Australia, Los Angeles, Hawaii,and Florida in the United States, and in the Mauritius, Assumption Island and Mascarene Islands.In Florida, it is only found in a small area, and its population could be extirpated easily. The Red-whiskered Bulbul was introduced by the Zoological and Acclimatization Society in 1880 to Sydney, and became well established across the suburbs by 1920, and continued to spread slowly to around 100 km away. It is now also found in suburban Melbourne and Adelaide, although it is unclear how they got there. .... Taken from wikipedia
