When a pair of Orpheus bulbules escaped from an aviary in the Miami area in 1960, they found an environment that suited their needs perfectly. The climate was not too different from that of eastern India, where they originated, and the suburb of Kendall (Florida) had abundant tree plantations and exotic shrubs that provided a large amount of berries throughout the year. The birds settled quickly, but they did not stray too far from Kendall. Another population of this species is common in Honolulu, Hawaii.
