supports: A songbird is a bird belonging to the clade Passeri of the perching birds (Passeriformes). Another name that is sometimes seen as a scientific or vernacular name is Oscines, from Latin "oscen", "a songbird". This group contains some 4,000 species found all over the world, in which the vocal organ typically is developed in such a way as to produce a diverse and elaborate bird song. The bristlebills are a genus of passerine birds belonging to the genus Bleda in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. They are found in the understorey of forests in West and Central Africa. They forage for insects at or near ground-level, often near water. They will follow driver ant swarms to catch prey items fleeing from the ants and they frequently join mixed-species feeding flocks. Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a state in East Asia. Neighbors include China (officially the People's Republic of China, abbreviated as PRC) to the west, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south.
  Taiwan is the most populous state that is not a member of the United Nations, and the one with the largest economy. The greenbuls are a group of birds within the bulbul family Pycnonotidae, found only within Africa. They are all largely drab olive-green above, and paler below, with few distinguishing features. The brownbuls are two species of passerine birds within the genus "Phyllastrephus" in the family Pycnonotidae. They share the genus with other species of greenbuls and a leaflove. The bulbuls are a family, Pycnonotidae, of medium-sized passerine songbirds. Many forest species are known as greenbuls, brownbuls, leafloves, or bristlebills. The family is distributed across most of Africa and into the Middle East, tropical Asia to Indonesia, and north as far as Japan. A few insular species occur on the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean There are about 130 species in around 24 genera. While some species are found in most habitats, overall African species are predominantly found in rainforest whilst rainforest species are rare in Asia, instead preferring more open areas. The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi, and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict. The brown - eared bulbul ( Hypsipetes amaurotis ) is a medium - sized bulbul which is found from the Russian Far East ( including Karafuto ( or Sakhalin ) ) , northeastern China , the Korean Peninsula , and Japan , south to Taiwan and the Babuyan and Batanes island chains in the north of the Philippines , occasionally being found on Luzon . It is extremely common within the northern parts of its range and is a familiar bird throughout Japan , where it is called hiyodori (  ) , and Korea , where it is known as jikbakguri (  ) . In Taiwan , on the other hand , it is rare and limited to Orchid Island . Reaching a length of about 28 cm ( 11 in ) , brown - eared bulbuls are grayish - brown , with brown cheeks ( the `` brown ears '' of the common name ) and a long tail . While they prefer forested areas , they readily adapt to urban and rural environments , and their noisy squeaking calls are a familiar sound in most areas of Japan . Historically , brown - eared bulbuls were migratory birds moving to the southern parts of its range in winter , but they have taken advantage of changes in crops and farming practices in recent decades to overwinter in areas farther north than previously possible . As a result , they are considered agricultural pests in some areas of Japan . Most brown - eared bulbuls still move south in winter , often forming huge flocks during migration . In summer , brown - eared bulbuls primarily feed on insects , while they primarily take fruits and seeds in the fall and winter .
