Straw-headed Bulbul Pycnonotus zeylanicus
The Straw-headed Bulbul is a striking bright yellow bird known for their vibrant song, often described as one of the most melodious in the bird world. Their powerful calls echo through Southeast Asia’s lowland forests, but these sounds are becoming increasingly rare. They are critically endangered due to illegal trapping for the cage-bird trade and habitat loss driven by deforestation, including the expansion of palm oil plantations.
Protecting the Straw-headed Bulbul is vital to preserving their unique contribution to the soundscapes of their natural habitats. Fight for their survival by boycotting products linked to deforestation. Use your wallet as a weapon. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
Sumatran Cochoa Cochoa beccarii
The Sumatran Cochoa Cochoa beccarii is a rare and secretive forest-dwelling #songbird found only in the highland rainforests of #Sumatra #Indonesia.
