Bulbul

the Persian name of a sweet singing rock thrush heard at night in oriental countries. It is a species of nightingale. It has been brought to notice by the Arabian Nights' Entertainments, and by the poems of Moore and Byron. There are several brilliantly colored species. The bulbul of India is familiar in gardens. The males fight with such pugnacity that they are trained by the natives and exhibited in sparring matches. See Nightingale
