Olive winged bulbul (Brachypus plunosus) is not a difficult species to be seen in Malaysia. Maybe some people assume the bird is not pretty or have an interesting color. As for me all birds pretty and wonderful (they are unique).Olive-winged Bulbuls (Pycnonotus plumosus) are doing very well in Malaysia (east/west), Singapore and other Asian country, often seen along rainforest edges and young regenerating and scrubby growths.
They nest on trees and palms, even in hollows of dead palms. Nests are cup-shaped structures constructed from twigs, dried leaves, roots and lined with floss and grass. Two eggs are normally laid, with both chicks or only one fledging.
Above image of the Olive-winged Bulbul was photographed in Sungai Ramal Kajang (malaysia), around March 2009 (taken by me). It shows an adult with olive color on winged /grey and brown color .on the breast and back body.
How to ID the bird : The key features are the red eyes (photo can't see it - bad lighting) white streaks at the "ears" position and the olive wings (Prominent) .
