EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 42: Pycnonotus jocosus, the Red-whiskered Bulbul, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Red-whiskered Bulbul is a passerine bird belonging to the Pycnonotidae family and the Passeriformes order. This bird is native to South Asia, ranging from India to Indonesia. The illustration captures the intricate details of this bird's anatomy, from its long, brown body and moustache-like red feathers on its cheeks, to its distinctive crest, curved bill, and white bib. The Red-whiskered Bulbul is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its ability to balance and grip with its strong feet. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prominent ornithological illustrator of the 19th century. Her work was published in various natural history publications, including "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," which was produced between 1829 and 1858. Cockburn's illustrations were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit, making them valuable resources for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts of the time. The Red-whiskered Bulbul is a common bird in its range and is known for its distinctive call, which sounds like a whistle. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on fruits, seeds, insects, and small reptiles. The Red-whiskered Bulbul is also a popular cage bird due to its attractive appearance and melodic song.
