Natral, these are fruits of Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), which produces the world’s largest compound flower; the largest of which is reported to have reached 3.5 metres tall

@alicelongmartin, this is definitely not a palm family, it is more of giant fern-like plant i think.

I agree. Both the bird AND the plant are outstanding!

I would love to know the name of the plant too! I've seen something like it here in NG but I never identified it.

Love the seed cones the bulbul is eating. Is it from a palm?
