Seyşeller Kurşuni Arapbülbülü Hypsipetes crassirostris

A medium-sized gray bird with a black cap and a carrot-colored bill. Endemic to the granitic Seychelles. Found in virtually all habitats with a woody component, including forest, woodland, scrub, villages, and plantations. Often in small, noisy groups. The song is an unmusical series of rattling and scraping notes, often given from a high perch. The calls include a “chek” note and a long, whining call.
