Yesterday I have been observing the antics of the Orange-bellied Flowerpecker (
Dicaeum trigonstigma) when it frequented a bunch of ripe fruits of the Yellow Ixora. The male bird first strike the skin of the fruit, peeling it off before pecking deeper into the flesh. On another instance, it had the berry caught between it beak before swallowing it. At the park here this bird is considered a permanent resident. It is around the place every day, attracted by many kinds of berries and fruits, mainly the Jackfruit. Though tiny it is nevertheless a very attractive bird for its contrasting colours i.e. orange versus blue.
