The tree fruit they are eating on seem to be bandicoot berry Leea indica. Seemed to be very popular for birds to feed on.

Looking for the video below I got myself a real surprise. I have seen this dance on TV but I had no idea whatsoever I was looking at and photographed the very bird in the garden that morning.

Enjoy the video. I did.

This is a bird I´m not quite sure about. It was the name I was given but for some reason the coloring around the eyes dont really matches what I have seen on other images on the net. If it is wrong, please tell me so I can correct it. As you can see it is having "breakfast" given food by the visitors.
