Mystery bird 10
What child is this... |
A couple of weeks ago, a nest with some baby birds was found in my brother's garden. I have no clue what species the bird was except that it clearly was a flyer. Today, I have a suspect. The nest is likely to be that of a yellow vented bulbul.
I have cut out the relevant section from Wiki.
The yellow-vented bulbul builds a well-camouflaged but fragile, loose, deep, cup-shaped nest from grass, leaves, roots, vine stems, and twigs. The nest is untidy on the outside, but it is neatly lined with plant fibres. It may be built in a wide range of places from low bushes to high trees. This is a species adapted to humans and may even nest in gardens. The yellow-vented bulbul lays 2–5 eggs in February to June.
