Yellow-vented Bulbul uses a plastic bag to construct a nest

on 26th October 2012

“A few years after Yellow-vented Bulbuls (Pycnonotus goiavier) incorporated tissue-paper into their nest in my garden LINK, I found a nest today (I assume this cup-shaped nest is also a Yellow-vented Bulbul’s nest) which has a plastic bag as part of the design (below).

“Wonder what other artificial nesting-material these bulbuls will use next!”
