Hab. Northern and Central Tenasserim, Pegu, and Burmah. According 

 to Gates, the White-throated Bulbul is found generally diffused over the hills 

 of Pegu, where the vegetation is thick and evergreen, and specially abundant 

 on the Eastern slopes. It has been procured at Tounghoo and also at 

 Karennee. In Tenasserim, according to Davison, it is found only as far 

 south as Meetan. They are remarkably noisy birds, and may generally be 

 found in parties of six or more. They fly from tree to tree, backwards and 

 forwards, continually uttering their harsh notes. Gates says that they never 

 descend to the ground, and appear to feed entirely on fruit. Nothing is 

 known of the nidification of this Bulbul.
