Then a female Greater Green Leafbird (Chloropsis sonnerati zosterops) flew in (above right). The parrot flew off leaving the fruit half eaten. The leafbird proceeded to take over the fruit. This was observed twice, by two different leafbirds. But unlike the hanging parrot, the leafbirds had great difficulty gaining access to the flesh as the fruits were at the tip of thin branches. It required quite a bit of balancing and contortion to gain access. More
