Yellow-vented Bulbul - in-flight serving |
The Ong Lumok tree and the Heliconia Sexy Pink have specific appeal to the birds. The Ong Lumok ( Artocarpus odoratissimus) has soft, sweet and pulpy flesh. Today a Yellow-vented Bulbul visited the over-ripe fruit. It hoovered close to the fruit and then settled down for breakfast. At the Heliconia Valley I chanced upon a Little Spiderhunter that busies itself on getting a sip at the nectar. It used a shortcut. With its long curved beak it pierced the flower base to reach directly at the nectar. Well, birds do work smart!
