| I was on a dark trail when I saw this single Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker feeding on the fruit of Ficus racemosa (Cluster Fig).
In the past I have observed Yellow-breasted Flowerpeckers feeding on:
Ficus Benjamina fruit
Ficus villosa fruit
Melastoma malabathricum (Straits rhododendron) fruit
Clidemia hirta (Hairy Clidemia) fruit
I have also seen them inspecting the underside of leaves for animal prey – possibly spiders, larvae or caterpillars.
Once I have encountered a bird as part of a lowland mixed foraging party (bird wave).
