Bulbul

Bulbul, the Turkish and Persian name for the nightingale (in which sense it is common in poetry), used in zoology as the English name of a family (Pycnonotidae) or sub-family (Brachypodinae) of Oriental birds, intermediate between the Babblers and Thrushes, and sometimes called Fruit-thrushes. Some of the species of the type-genus Pycnonotus are kept in England as cage-birds, and in India P. haemorrhous is trained to fight like a game-cock.
