“Further to an earlier post on bulbuls feeding on seeds of Acacia mangium LINK, I have now observed Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri) and Variable Squirrels (Callosciurus finlaysonii) at Bidadari Woodlands feeding on Acacia auriculiformis seeds and their arils.

Introduced in the 1990s, probably from Thailand where it is native.
