Reaching upside down to eat
Observation details
For at least 30 minutes they stuffed their faces on berries in a single tree, and using great agility and reach to do so (see photos). After they finished eating they all sat still for a minute or two, then flew away. Later we heard and then watched a solitary female/immature call at length from near the top of one of the tallest trees around, presumably because it got separated. Eventually it flew off to join at least 3 of the others seen flying by.
