Where do you live

In the world

It is widely distributed, with several subespecies- for much of the Ethiopian region where it reaches the southernmost parts of Africa.Within occupied Western Palearctic Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and northern Chad and the Autonomous City of Ceuta.

In Spain

Only in Spanish territory it is located in Ceuta. In Melilla, despite its proximity to Morocco, where it is a usual bird, it has not confirmed the presence of naranjero bulbul far. The subspecies living in Ceuta is barbatus, and it is recorded in the northwestern regions of the African continent.

displacements

It is shown sedentary in much of its range, although in North Africa can make short dispersive movements.

Poblaciónón

Although it is a common species throughout its range, the size of their populations is unknown. With regard to Spain, the small breeding population of Ceuta, which is considered stable in recent years is estimated at about 10 couples, although there is a lack of accurate data.
