bulbul, bulbil

Bulbul or bulbul means one of a family of songbirds found in Africa and part of Asia--
He recorded the song of a bulbul while on a trip to Africa.
This looks like the nest of a bulbul.

Bulbil or bulbil ( sometimes spelled bulbel ) means a tiny bulb that grows between a leaf and stem in some plants--
The bulbil will grow into a new plant if you water it.
Each bulbil may form a new onion plant.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The bulbul may be interested in eating a bulbil from the lily; we'd need to ask an ornithologist."
