I sighted a threesome of Long-tailed Parakeet feeding on the flower buds of the common tree in open marshland. I usually call it the coffee tree. Anyone know the name of the small tree. I am not sure whether it is feeding its offspring or whether is a mating ritual. I would say it the latter as the male will "geling" its head from left to right before making beak contact....but then the short tail and grey beak of the other bird indicate its a juvenile..................
OK my buddy Saravanan reminded me the name of the plant is called as "Simpoh Air" in Malay. Scientific name: Dillenia suffruticosa. Its the national flower of Brunei.
