About Alophoixus pallidus (Swinhoe, 1870)
Alophoixus pallidus, the puff-throated bulbul, is a 23 cm long bulbul. It has olive upperparts, yellow underparts, and puffy white throat feathers. It resembles the white-throated bulbul but has duller underparts. It has black feet, brown iris, and brown bill. Males and females are visually identical. It is a regular, not obligate, cooperative breeder. Groups can hold one or more breeding pairs that breed either cooperatively or non-cooperatively. When multiple pairs share one territory, they nest separately. The female builds the nest, incubates eggs, and broods young. Males and helpers feed nestlings and fledglings. Nests are open cups, typically placed in the understorey.
