I noticed a Bulbul in a shrub in our garden, while it was chirping to call other birds!
Having found the black berry, it gave way its communicating bird calls. It had no response. It gathered the berry for itself and left although there were other ripe berries in the shrub.
I was taken back by its mindfulness for other birds. The Bulbuls and Barbets are the birds who feed on this berry.
The bird calls from the feeding station has a similar feature, where Bulbuls will call out for others. Before summer set in, we had about ten or so Bulbuls at the feeding station at one time every day.
This communal feeding was a pleasant sight to watch each morning in our garden!
The Bulbul birds remember other birds while being at the feeding station !
Their fraternal feeling lingers on in my mind!
