They're dirty little bastards. I've watched them fight over a piece of fruit, spit it out, gnaw on the seed, toss then start on another piece. I think they use the seed to sharpen their beaks.

A swarm of them got into my neighbour’s tree a few years back. Not sure what sort of fruit it was but they all fell on my roof and created a massive racket early one morning.

I think they’ve removed that tree now though as I haven’t had a repeat of it since.

Booo for stealing all your fruit though.
