Feeding Habits
White-eared Bulbul mainly feeds on fruits and insects. They forage for sustenance, employing their keen vision and agility. Unique to this species is a preference for certain berries. Typically, white-eared Bulbul indulges in foraging activities at dawn and dusk, aligning with their peak feeding times.
Habitat
White-eared Bulbul generally inhabits arid to semi-arid environments, primarily residing in areas characterised by dry woodlands and thorn-scrub. These birds are typically found in semi-desert scrublands abundant with bushes of genera such as Capparis and Salvadora, as well as riverine shrubberies and mangroves. They also adapt well to human-altered landscapes, including palm groves, gardens, agricultural lands, and orchards. Occasionally, white-eared Bulbul may seek shelter in dense reedbeds for roosting and are known to breed within Euphorbia woodlands. The species is common in lowland regions but can be found at elevations up to 2100 meters, differing in altitude distribution with closely related species in their range.
