Red-whiskered Bulbul

5 sections

The Red-whiskered Bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus) was introduced to eastern Australia in the 188s. This interesting looking bird with its black pointed crest and cheerful personality has adapted to Sydney's suburbs and parks. While it now is common in Australian landscapes, they are considered an invasive species.
