This tree is called a protein tree by the locals. You'll find many birds feeding on this fruit-bearing tree. I've never seen 8-10 Asian
Koels sitting and so many different bird species, i.e., Malabar pied hornbill, Malabar grey hornbill, Greater Caucal, coppersmith barbet, myna, etc., all together enjoying the natural fruit.

In the picture is an Asian Koel at Timber Depot, Dandeli, Karnataka, India.
