A Bulbul pair made the way for a squirrel to have its feed at the feeding station in our garden ! The squirrel emptied the plate when it got a chance.
When we placed more banana, two Bulbuls returned to feed.
A squirrel although displaced the Bulbuls earlier, they too received enough to feed on.
In the avian world, this story of gain and loss is common. They have learned to adapt and be comfortable with that.
The meal times are rarely quarrelsome at the feeding station. The bird behaviour of co-feeding is a sight to watch! It resonates peace, which is what we long for in human behaviour!
