Pycnonotus leucogenys
They seem to love the mesquite trees
Like the House Sparrows and Laughing doves, the White-eared Bulbuls are residents to Kuwait and breed here. They have mastered some tough survival skills to find food and water here and live through the scorching summers with up to 55C temps.

Yes. One of my all-time favorites. Helped me ID a lot of birds at the beginning (and up to this day)
Did you come across this Kuwaiti WEB site?

No. Just an amateur photographer & nature Lover
Very tragic. Are you scientist ?
Yep. Read it on K's path page :/
You are definitely right. One month Back they killed more than six Flamingos where I work in West Kuwait.
What do they not catch here,... :-(
I visited Friday market last year - just to see what they have in cages.
To see all the Bulbuls was just heartbreaking :(
Excellent shot , too bad they catch this bird heavily in Kuwait. Keep up the good work
