Ochraceous Bulbul (Alophoixus ochraceous)

These birds are between 19cm and 22cm in size. The adults are puff-throated with small and short upright crest. They have warm brown upperparts with yellow absent from their lowerparts. They frequent evergreen forests up to 1,525 metres and are normally found in the mid canopy strata of the forest usually in pairs or small flocks. Their breeding period is between February and April. A typical clutch of two slightly glossy pinkish-white and almond red eggs measuring 25mm x 17.5mm are laid in deep cup-shaped nests about 2.4 metres from the ground. They are found in most of South-East Asia.
