“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.

Very nice! I didn’t know we had this squirrel here in Singapore & this is the first time I’m seeing it. The only ones I’ve sighted and know of so far are the plantain squirrels, which seem to have grown in number in recent years (a good/bad thing? Can anyone comment?)…

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