The Yellow-crowned Gonolek is a common bird in equatorial Africa from Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo east to Ethiopia.

These birds frequent habitats made up of dense undergrowth in forests and other wooded areas. It is not as shy as some other bushshrikes, and can sometimes be seen on watered hotel lawns.

 

The Yellow-crowned Gonolek likes to dine on insects located in bushes or on the ground.
