At least five birds (but likely to be more), coming in and out of a large Chiranthodendron pentadactyon, Monkey's Hand Tree, a native of Guatamala and southern Mexico. Tui were displacing each other from flowers whenever two birds ended up in the same part of this tree's large-spread canopy. As can be seen from the photograph, the flowers are well adpted to bird pollination, because when the bird's head---in this case, tui---is bent forward, it brushes up against the unidirectional anthers.
