Feeding Habits
African Red-eyed Bulbul predominantly munches on a variety of fruits and arthropods, incorporating figs, mulberries, grapes, and insects like beetles, ants, and aphids. When foraging, they exhibit gregarious behavior in groups, vocally animated around fruitful trees, and will perform aerial insect hunts. Adapts well to human presence, frequenting garden feeders and birdbaths.
Habitat
African Red-eyed Bulbul favors a variety of arid to semi-arid environments such as dry woodlands, acacia savannas, and shrublands. It thrives in riparian zones with bushy vegetation and in shrubby areas that punctuate otherwise barren landscapes. Additionally, african Red-eyed Bulbul can be found in human-modified habitats like orchards and gardens, particularly in areas that provide a combination of water sources and adequate tree or shrub cover. These birds inhabit regions characterized by lower winter temperatures and higher variability in annual rainfall.
