The Nicobar Bulbul – Hypsipetes nicobariensis
(Publish in multi-language subtitles)

Meet the Nicobar Bulbul — a lesser-known but truly fascinating bird found only on the Nicobar Islands.

At about 16 to 17 and a half centimeters long and weighing around 35 grams, this olive-brown bulbul might seem plain at first glance, but look closer — and you will find it’s full of charm.

It has a thick, long bill, sooty crown, and pale underparts with a yellowish wash. Young birds are browner and lack the sharp head contrast of adults.

The Nicobar Bulbul lives mostly in undisturbed primary forests, though it’s sometimes seen at forest edges, plantations, and orchards. On islands like Teressa and Bompoka, it’s especially tied to pristine woodland.

Feeding on a mix of insects and fruits, it hunts by hover-gleaning—darting and hovering to snatch prey from leaves—and catches flying insects midair with agile precision.

Though its breeding behavior is still little-known, nesting likely happens from December to April, when adults are seen feeding young.

Sadly, this island gem is classified as Near Threatened and protected under India’s Wildlife Protection Act.

With its gentle beauty and limited range, the Nicobar Bulbul stands as a reminder of the fragile biodiversity of these remote islands — and the importance of keeping their forests alive.
