Yesterday my wife, Shobha, noticed a nest of Bulubul on a frond of a palm, just below our window. I decided to videograph it and here is the result of it.
The weather was quite cold due to light drizzle. The chicks, without any feathers, seemed to be uncomfortable. The parents, one by one used to get food and feed it to ever-hungry chicks. Occasionally one of the parents (most probably the mother) used to settle in the nest to warm up the chicks. Once a parent got a big chunk of food, which seemed like a piece of a grasshopper. After trying to feed it to each of the 3 chicks, only one succeeded in pushing it down the throat. These birds are Red-vented Bulbuls (Pycnonotus cafer).
