PAKHI DEKHUN PAKHI CHINUN # 401 (Observe the Bird and recognize)..YELLOW BROWED BULBUL ...[From a Photograph of MR. ANUP DEODHAR] ... WATERCOLOUR ...A4...2014... The yellow-browed bulbul (Acritillas indica) is a species of bulbul found in the forests of southern India and Sri Lanka. It is mainly yellow on the underside and olive above with a distinct yellow brow. They are easily located by their loud calls but tend to skulk within foliage below the forest canopy. Three subspecies are recognised within its range and its generic placement has changed over time with some considering it as a sole species in the genus Acritillas. This bulbul is about 20 cm (7 inches) long, lacks a crest and has the upperparts olive green with a prominent yellow brow and goggle with the underparts being all yellow. The sexes do not differ in plumage. The bill is black and the iris is reddish brown. The calls include a whistle like calls and sharp pick-wick notes. They feed mainly on berries and insects. Nestlings are fed with caterpillars, soft insects and berries. [INFO : WIKIPEDIA]
