Editing Bulbul (section)

==Description==
Bulbuls are short-necked slender passerines. The tails are long and the wings short and rounded. In almost all species the [[beak|bill]] is slightly elongated and slightly hooked at the end. They vary in length from 13&nbsp;cm and {{convert|13.3|g|oz|abbr=on}} for the [[tiny greenbul (disambiguation)|tiny greenbul]] to 29&nbsp;cm and {{convert|93|g|oz|abbr=on}} in the [[straw-headed bulbul]].<ref>{{cite book |title=CRC Handbook of Avian Body Masses |edition=2nd |editor-first=John B.

In a few species the differences are so great that they have been described as functionally different species. The soft [[plumage]] of some species is colorful with yellow, red or orange vents, cheeks, throat or supercilia, but most are drab, with uniform olive-brown to black plumage. Species with dull coloured eyes often sport contrasting eyerings. Some have very distinct crests. Bulbuls are highly [[Bird vocalization|vocal]], with the calls of most species being described as nasal or gravelly. One author described the song of the [[brown-eared bulbul]] as "one of the most unattractive noises made by any bird".{{sfn|Fishpool|Tobias|2005|p=[https://archive.org/details/handbookofbirdso0010unse/page/146/mode/1up 146]}}
