Fig Tree - 6 (Eudynamys scolopaceus)

The Fig Tree - 6

Two female Asian Koels
were feeding in the
tree ... fig-ging out
merrily ... if I may
say so ...
one here
delightfully holds a
fig in her bill ...
... in the process clearly
showing that the fruit was
torn off the branch
leaving a part of
it to the branch ...

... and it is that
left over piece on the
branch, the Flowerpecker
will joyfully feed
on ...
