Asian Koel in courtship feeding

Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus malayana) - male with fruit, look like a cherry probably (Muntingia calabura)

 - 

In Asian Koel courtship, the male presents the female with food, specifically ripe fruit, as part of their courtship display. This behavior, known as courtship feeding, is a common practice in many bird species and may play a role in strengthening the pair bond and providing extra nutrition to the female during egg formation.
