Belinjau Lover





One of my favourite snack is belinjau chips, I like it best to go with sambal chili (chili with prawn paste). Belinjau or some called it Belinjo is from the tree Gnetum gnemon. Some birds like it too, such as Black Naped Oriole (Oriolus chinensis).

 

 The bird handle the fruit the same way they handle their insects prey.

 This bird is smart enough to exclude the seed, which can be hard to digest and take only the soft part.

Other than Black Naped Oriole, I also seen Asian Koel feeding on Belinjau too.
