The Forest-edge ...

Take away ...

Some local guides
put pieces of fruits
and some seeds at
the forest-edge ...
... to attract
Magpies and Jays
and Nuthatches ...
... Barbets and
some smaller seed
eaters ...

Here this Magpie was
not content with
eating the papaya
on the spot ... but
picked up a rather
large piece to take it
away with to some
privy location ...

Watch some of the
action in a video-clip ...

I gather it feels less threatened in its own private retreat. Excellent action and behavioral picture of this beauty Alok & Renu! TFS!
