Tole olivacea olivacea is an inhabitant of Singapore but there are 
several geographical races found within the limits of the present

Nidification. There is apparently nothing recorded about the 
nesting of this Bulbul beyond my own notes in ‘The Ibis’ and 
Bombay Natural History Society’s Journal (1892, p.6). The nests 
are compact, well-made cups composed of a few dead leaves and 
tiny elastic twigs well interwoven with and bound together by 
long strips of w ‘hat looks like the inner bark of some tree. They 
were all, with one exception, in horizontal forks, the branches of 
which were incorporated in the sides of the nest about two-thirds 
up. ‘The lining was in each case of black fern reots and the long 
red tendrils of a small yellow ground-convolvulus. All my nests.
