Looks like it's not just the Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri) that enjoy eating the seeds from the brown ripe pods of the African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulata). The Indian palm squirrel also known as the three-striped palm squirrel seems to share the meal too. Never seen this little fella so high up the tree whenever I've observed these two squirrels that have made this tree their home, scurrying around jumping from tree to tree. Nevertheless the tasty seeds seemed to keep this one pre-occupied long enough for me to get a few shots!
Chewing away...
Sitting pretty... up high..
He seems to be sitting quite comfortably at roughly 70ft from the ground....
This one's the second squirrel who unlike it's partner seemed pretty amused by a cloth dangling from one of the branches and just couldn't stop tugging and gnawing at it. Wonder which one's the male and female though?
