Psilopogon haemacephalus
Tiny. Colourful with mascara -eyes.The green feathers matches the leaves and the red matches the fruit. This bird is almost invisible as it feeds.
On a fruiting Banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) in my office. It is somehow very satisfying to know that there are fruits that humans do not eat...and which can sustain the birds.
When the fruit is ripe this tree is a bird magnet, I saw the crow, mynah, pied myna, woodpecker, chestnut-headed starling, barbets...all enjoying a lovely lunch. This is the way the seeds will be spread.., bird poo.
