Wild Red-Crowned Parrot in Loquat

A pretty parrot having an early evening snack at the very top of our Loquat tree. Several parrots fly noisily over our house most evenings, but lately we'll find one in our tree. First it's the sound of heavy wings (these are big guys), then occasional low throaty rattle sounds almost like a raven's voice.



He's choosing the past-ripe ones. I had assumed they eat the fruits flesh rather than the seeds, but now I'm unsure.
