學名 : Pycnonotus sinensis

別名 : 白頭翁 、白頭殼仔

特徵:屬雜食性,雄鳥胸部灰色較深,雌鳥淺淡,雄鳥枕部(後頭部)白色極為清晰醒目。

習性:白頭鵯喜歡將巢築在相思樹或榕樹上,每年春天三月到五月是白頭翁的繁殖期,這段期間,如果見到一隻白頭翁單獨站在突出的枝頭或是樹頂上高聲鳴叫,過不了多久,另一隻白頭翁飛過來,兩隻鳥一唱一和,那多半就是牠們在互唱情歌了。繁殖期每一對白頭翁會建立牠們的領域,其範圍面積小,巢通常築在離地面不高的雜木林或樹叢上。

Characteristics: It is omnivorous, males have darker gray breasts, females are lighter, and male pillows (back head) are white and very clear and eye-catching.

Habits: The white-headed bulbul likes to build its nest on the acacia or banyan tree. Every spring from March to May is the breeding period of pulsatilla. During this period, if you see a pulsatilla standing alone on the protruding branches or on the top of the tree Tweeting, it wo n’t take long for another windflower to fly over, and the two birds will sing one at a time. Most of them are singing love songs to each other. During the breeding period, each pair of Pulsatilla will establish their field. Its area is small, and the nest is usually built on a weed forest or bush that is not high above the ground.
