The Himalayan Bulbul (Pycnonotus leucogenys)
(Click to Tweet)Around my native village in the Baijnath Town of Himachal Pradesh, it is very common to see Himalayan Bulbul birds. I love their sweet voice and beautiful look. I love to chase them with my camera whenever I visit my village. (updated 20-02-2020) Bulbul birds are very attentive birds and in the picture below, you can see a White Cheeked (Himalayan) Bulbul bird closing monitoring something.

I love the god gifted hairstyle of these birds which is sharper in male Himalayan Bulbul birds and we can find many similar hairstyles in many young males, It looks that they must have copied it from Himalayan Bulbul bird. It is a small bird with an average weight of 27 to 35 grams. We can recognize these birds with the pale yellow color of their underside.
It is common to find these birds in pairs or in small groups. Mostly, they are friendly birds and come very close to humans. At the village, a few of the Himalayan Bulbul birds come daily to eat rice which we put in the feeder for the house sparrows.
