Emerald Dove feeding

Species: Emerald Dove Chalcophaps indica indica - feeding
Location: Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia
Habitat: Outskirts of the city with secondary growth
Date: 3rd September 2017
Equipment: Nikon D500 SLR with Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD, handheld

Remarks
The Emerald Dove is usually found feeding on the ground and on occasion in trees. On the ground it takes fallen fruit or seeds. The bird moves fast on the ground with much head movement and food is taken quickly. On this occasion I was watching an adult male from the car and attempted some videos (short clips that were in focus here). The fruit/seeds on this occasion was from a tall tree that looked similar to the Tabebuia species. The bird was aided by Asian Glossy Starlings (Aplonis panayensis strigata) that were feeding on the same fruit/seed high above and dropping some on the ground.
