STRAW-HEADED BULBUL
Straw-headed bulbul, known for its melodious calls, has been hunted to extinction across much of its range in Southeast Asia, trapped for the songbird trade. Once widespread, relentless trapping has resulted in its disappearance in Java, Thailand and possibly Sumatra. The populations of this species in Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia are on a steep decline.
Straw-headed bulbul is the largest bulbul species in Singapore with strong bill, yellowish-orange crown and ear coverts, blackish eye and submoustachial stripes, whitish throat, bold whitish streaks on brownish breast and olive-green wings and uppertail coverts.
