sandeyeRed-whiskered bulbuls

I was happy to notice that a pair of red whiskered bulbuls seemed to be very interested in the privet bush that is situated near our dunny. We previously had a pair make a nest in our overgrown cotoneaster, which alas had an accident, the details of which will be readable in my upcoming book OUR AUSTRALIAN FEATHERED FRIENDS, which is due out later this year. The privet bush is far more secure, and should they choose to actually build their nest there, I will take great delight in being able to watch the growth of the youngsters from my kitchen window! I may even be able to grab a few pictures using the zoom.
These birds do not seem to have much habitat listed in Australia. I am not sure if this is a recent matter, or if they have always lived only around select districts, but when researching online a couple of years ago in order to find out their correct name as I had never come across such birds before, I discovered that they only currently live in a few specific areas of Australia, one of which is right here. I have also learned that they live in the US, so will be soon be researching to discover where exactly they are located over there. It is quite exciting to have a couple to observe in our back yard, though.
