早春になるとヒヨドリとメジロがこの花に集まる。大きいヒヨドリが小さいメジロを追い払うシーンをよく見かける。
When early spring comes, Brown-eared bulbuls and Japanese white-eyes gather in this flower. I often see a scene where the big bulbul chases the small white-eye.

センダンの果実は小鳥にとっては大きく、果肉は少なく種子が大きい。それでも果実は冬の1月までも残っているので、ヒヨドリとムクドリが食べに来る。
The fruit of the chinaberry tree is large for small birds, the pulp is small and the seed is large. The fruits still remain until January of winter, so White-cheeked starlings and Brown-eared bulbuls come to eat them.
