Southern mountain greenbul is a name used for several closely related small birds in the bulbul family that live in southern Africa. These forest-dwelling birds are about the size of a sparrow, with olive-brown upperparts and lighter underparts. They feed mainly on fruit and insects, and they usually stay high in trees, often singing softly as they move through the foliage. Because the same common name has been used for more than one species, the exact bird called “southern mountain greenbul” can differ depending on where you are. For precise identification, it helps to know the scientific name or the specific region.
