A bunch of bananas went to the birds this time. Actually, we produce so many bananas (several types), and can't eat them all so I give them to the chickens as a treat and compost the rest.

I didn't see the tityra eat the bananas, but he did stop by.

Gray-headed Chachalaca |
I read that bananas should be given to chickens as a treat. I've always thought they would eat as much as possible if given the chance. The chachalacas confirmed they will eat bananas until they are full.

Even woodpeckers enjoy bananas. I am not confident I identified all of these birds correctly. It was fun watching them come and go until the party was over.
