==Behaviour and ecology== Yellow-browed bulbuls are found in pairs or small groups and call loudly. They feed mainly on berries and insects. The breeding season is during the dry spell before the monsoons, mainly January to May. The nest is a cup built in a low fork covered with moss and cobwebs on the outside, giving the appearance of a large [[white-eye]] nest,<ref name=hbk/> and lined with fine root fibres.<ref name=pcr/> The typical clutch size in India is three eggs and in Sri Lanka two. A study of 153 nests in Silent Valley National Park of India found 92% of nests had two eggs.<ref name="Balakrishnan, Peroth 2009 176β183"/> Peak breeding in the Silent Valley National Park of Kerala was found in January and February.<ref name="Balakrishnan, Peroth 2009 176β183">{{cite journal|author=Balakrishnan, Peroth| year=2009| title= Breeding ecology and nest-site selection of yellow-browed bulbul ''Iole indica'' in Western Ghats, India| journal=J.
