An earlier post describes how a juvenile Tiger Shrike (Lanius tigrinus) deals with the fruit of the Kenidai (Bridelia tomentosa) LINK.
In addition to Tiger Shrike, Chan Yoke Meng and Melinda Chan has documented a number of bulbuls also eating the fruits: Red-whiskered Bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus) (below) as well as Straw-headed Bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus) and Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier).
Other birds that were attracted to these fruits include Javan Myna (Acridotheres javanicus), Pink-necked Green-pigeon (Treron vernans), Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) (below) and Asian Glossy Starling (Aplonis panayensis).
