The trick works again. How would you attract the Orange-bellied Flowerpecker if not for the over-ripe Jackfruit? So the lovely pair is back again wanting more of the sweet pulp. Their arrival or presence is easily heard by the familiar short shrilling chirp..sounding like
sit...repeated many times. Today, the both of them posed well for the lenses. It is my belief that in Sarawak's town landscape there should be planted more fruit trees to attract wildlife. The current paranoid attention to just ornamental trees is not good for the preservation or conservation of wildlife in urban environment. Take a lesson from the Orange-bellied flowerpecker.
