So for a month we watched and were watched in turn by the suspicious and annoyed bulbul parents as we sat on the bench a distance away from the nest pointing our cameras in the direction of the nest. We recorded their feeding activities every morning with our cameras and were amazed how the little birds grew from featherless and helpless creatures to fluffy fledglings in the span of a month. We saw how the parents fed them tirelessly every day at specific times bringing and feeding the hungry mouths berries, insects, some kind of grub and sometimes they gave in to temptation and ate the food instead of feeding their kids. We were 'scolded' by one of the bulbuls when we went too near the nest while cleaning the porch. I have a recording of this bird perched on top of our gate and letting out a stream of gutteral chirps as if telling us about its displeasure and telling us to buzz off.
