Subject: OBSERVATION : REGURGITATION BY KOEL( MALE )/LIVISTONA DECIPIENS

Hello,
Yesterday I saw a male Koel sitting on the branch of Santalum
album ( CHANDAN ) tree in our garden. It was taking a siesta. I observed
the bird from 3.19 PM till 3.50 PM when the bird flew off. I observed the
bird regurgitate the fruits of Livistona decipiens ( the tree is nearby) at
certain interval .The bird swallows the regurgitated fruit again. But at
one stage one of the regurgitated fruit fell down but after some time it
regurgitated another fruit. In an earlier occasion I saw a Koel swallowing
four fruits one after another. My inference is Koels swallow number of
fruits of Livistona dicipiens at a time and then the bird regurgitates
these fruits .
Time wise observation was as under
( a ) 3.19 pm the bird was located
( b ) 3.28 pm first instance of regurgitation
( c ) 3.30 pm second instance of regurgitation
( d ) 3.33 pm third instance of regurgitation
( e ) 3.34 pm fourth instance of regurgitation( this fruit was dropped )
( f ) 3.35 pm fifth instance of regurgitation
( g ) 3.41 pm sixth instance of regurgitation
( h ) 3.41 pm ------ do ----------
( j ) 3.42 pm seventh instance of regurgitation
( k ) 3.46 pm eighth instance of regurgitation
( l )3.49 pm ninth instance of regurtitation
