Lack or abundance/of food is the deciding factor./Their food consists of fruit, blossoms and/insects. They are termed "cherry birds"/because of their fondness for this fruit. A/peculiar habit is for one to pick the cherry/and pass it on to the next down the line./The birds nest quite late on into the/summer. The nests are untidy-made of/grasses and wooly materials.
