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.
