The placid greenbul (Phyllastrephus placidus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in eastern Africa from eastern Kenya through Tanzania to north-eastern Zambia, Malawi and north-western Mozambique.[1] In the Taita Hills (southeast Kenya), habitat features associated with nest‐site selection vary among forest fragments that are exposed to different levels of habitat disturbance.[2]
They are insectivores.[3] They do not exhibit sexual dimorphism, except a slight size difference.[3] Their lifespan is relatively long, and can last up to 19 years.[3]
