Red Vented Bulbul belongs to the bulbul family. They are common garden birds with scaly brown plumage, red vent and black tufted head. Its call is very loud and cheerful. It is about 20cm in length. They feed mainly on fruits, petals of flowers, nectar and insects. The scientific name of the bird is Pycnotus cafer. These pictures were captured when the two Red Vented Bulbuls playing around a plant near my home.
