Red-vented Bulbul is commonly found across various regions, including the plains, foothills, and lowland forests. They inhabit gardens, parks, orchards, and scrublands throughout the country.

Red-vented Bulbuls are highly social birds that often form small flocks. They are omnivorous, feeding on a diet consisting of fruits, berries, insects, and flower nectar. Their vocalizations are prominent, with a range of melodious calls including whistles, chirps, and trills. These birds are known for their agile and acrobatic flight, often seen darting between branches and foliage in search of food or shelter.
