For the most part the Bulbul is a monogamous bird species and in some cases, a very tight family. The male will typically feed the female as she incubates her eggs, which takes up to 12 days, on average. In some species, the past chicks will stick around to help raise their new brothers and sisters, which is awfully nice of them. In on species, the Bulbul is actually polygamous and as a result these tight family bonds don’t exist. It would be interesting to see which method is more successful for the Bulbul.<\/p>\n
A Noisy Pet<\/h3>\n
If you have been reading this Wild Fact trying to figure out why you have heard of this bird before, perhaps you know someone that has a pet Bulbul. The Red-Whiskered and Red-Vented Bulbul have been captured and widely distributed in the pet trade. Hopefully these birds have a nicer song than the Brown-Eared Bulbul, otherwise I would think there would be some unhappy pet owners.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading today’s Wild Fact. Enjoy the rest of your day and I will see you back here tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The weekend is just around the corner and to help make the ride there a little easier, we are going on a trip to learn about a passerine bird known as the Bulbul. So where exactly are we going?
