Editing Bulbul (section)

==Behaviour and ecology==
===Breeding===
The bulbuls are generally [[monogamy in animals|monogamous]]. One unusual exception is the [[yellow-whiskered greenbul]] which at least over part of its range appears to be polygamous and engage in a [[Lek (biology)|lekking]] system. Some species also have [[alloparenting]] arrangements, where non-breeders, usually the young from earlier clutches, help raise the young of a dominant breeding pair.{{sfn|Fishpool|Tobias|2005|p=[https://archive.org/details/handbookofbirdso0010unse/page/151/mode/1up 151]}}  Up to five speckled eggs are laid in open tree nests and [[avian incubation|incubated]] by the female. Incubation usually lasts between 11 and 14 days, and chicks [[fledge]] after 12–16 days.{{sfn|Fishpool|Tobias|2005|pp=[https://archive.org/details/handbookofbirdso0010unse/page/154/mode/1up 154–155]}}

===Feeding===
Bulbuls eat a wide range of foods, ranging from fruit to seeds, nectar, small insects and other arthropods and even small vertebrates. The majority of species are frugivorous and supplement their diet with some insects, although there is a significant minority of specialists, particularly in Africa. Open country species in particular are generalists. Bulbuls in the genus ''[[Criniger]]'' and bristlebills in the genus ''[[Bleda (bird)|Bleda]]'' will join [[mixed-species feeding flock]]s.
