==Behaviour and ecology== [[Image:White-browed Bulbul.ogv|thumb|160px|left|A pair in a cashew tree (Goa, India)]] [[File:PycnonotusLuteolus.ogg|thumb|Song recorded at Bangalore, India]] White-browed bulbuls are usually seen singly or in pairs. They forage within bushes for fruit, nectar and insects. The breeding season is spread out from March to September and they may possibly breed twice a year. Peaks in breeding occur in February and again in September. The dry season of May to July appears to be avoided for breeding in the Point Calimere region. They build a nest, a loose cup made of twigs, cobwebs and hair placed low in a thick bush and usually on the periphery. Two eggs form the typical clutch.<ref name=hbk/><ref name=fbi2/> Individuals may live for more than 11 years.<ref name=hbk/><ref>{{cite journal|author=Vijayan, VS |year=1978| title= Breeding biology of Bulbuls, ''Pycnonotus cafer'' and ''Pycnonotus luteolus'' (Class: Aves, Family: Pycnonotidae) with special reference to their ecological isolation| journal= J.
