Took these shots early in 2016 on the Sunshine Coast of figbirds having lunch. Used point and press Canon.

I often see them eating these berries.
I believe your first photo is a Blue-Faced Honeyeater.
Looks like its in its transition from greeny yellow to blue.
Thanks Devo, You are right. Removed.
What a feast for the birds there.
Interesting
Another bird I have never heard of
Thanks for sharing
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
Any idea of the plant species they're feeding from?
Don't know a lot about palms Woko, but its a common species of palm in Queensland. They are actually a nuisance and those berries have a hard core and each berry bush drops thousands of berries. I think they also attract fruit bats. The palm itself is tall with typical fronds at the top and these berry bushes grow at different heights. Cheers.
The Blue-Faced Honeyeaters, Lorikeets and Koels love them as well!
