Yellow-vented Bulbul food for juveniles

Saw this Bulbul collecting many types of foods, and bringing them to a Hibiscus shrub in my front yard.
These are  the pictures that I took over many days

I'm NOT Spiderhunter - Pemburu Labah-labah

I am a Brown-throated Sunbird, though I like hunting a spider.
Sunbird got their name from the brightly with iridescent or rainbow like colours plumage (mostly in male species)
The colours of the iridescence changes with the angle of incident light such that a blue may suddenly appear green or black.
Image
Spotted the green spider on Cempedak leave...
Image
Image
moved closer for better strike...
Imageand finally flew away with the catch.
ImageTheir primary food is nectar, but it also eats small fruits and berries.
This male bird was bringing the spider to its chicks, because chicks and juveniles need high protein.
