It is the season where ripen durian and rambutan is upon us and many of us have been feasting on this fruits. Note that it is illegal to pluck any rambutan from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, but this law is good as it means nature gets to feast on it. I am one of the lucky ones that got to witness a blue-crowned hanging parrot feeding on the ripen rambutan.
From the picture below you can make out the blue crown and red-rumped but what is missing from this one is the red throat patch, which means this blue-crowned hanging parrot is a female. With the rambutan for size comparison, it is obvious this parrot is not large.
