These are mostly frugivorous birds. Some are colorful with yellow, red or orange vents, cheeks, throat or supercilia, but most are drab, with uniform olive brown to black plumage. Some have very distinct crests. These are noisy and gregarious birds with often striking songs. Many of these species inhabit tree tops, while some are restricted to the undergrowth. Up to five purple-pink eggs are laid in an open tree nests and incubated by the female. Red-whiskered Bulbul, Pycnonotus jocosus, has been introduced in southern Florida, USA.
