What better match than this ...
The Gold-whiskered Barbet with its striking green, yellow and red colours and that of the MacArthur palm fruits.
The Gold-whiskered Barbet with its striking green, yellow and red colours and that of the MacArthur palm fruits.
It was as much a feast for the eyes as it was a feast for the Barbet as I watched it have a liberal go at the palm fruits with its predictable and repetitive scan-about and pick.
A red one is a red one to the human eyes but the barbet knew better as it stretched and reached for one behind and inside the bunch even whilst numerous looked easier of reach on the external.
An occasional upward and outward scan about before it continued feasting.
I guess a bird eats to live and not live to eat, when consuming equates to swallowing sans savouring.
