RARE SIGHT! Guardians of the Fig Tree | Malabar Hornbills & Green Pigeons of Dandeli

Welcome to Quest Wilderness and More. In this documentary episode, we explore the magical world of birds that gather around a fig tree in the Western Ghats.
🌿 What you’ll discover in this video:
The Malabar Grey Hornbill – endemic to the Ghats, with its laughter-like calls and vital role in seed dispersal.
The Malabar Pied Hornbill – striking black-and-white plumage, unique nesting behavior, and its importance as a keystone species.
The Grey-fronted Green Pigeon – a jewel of southern India, blending into fruiting trees with its velvet-red mantle and odd bubbling song.
The Flame-throated Bulbul – the state bird of Goa, lighting up the canopy with its fiery throat and tinkling notes.
Through immersive narration and evocative visuals, we reveal how these birds are more than creatures of beauty—they are guardians of the forest, keeping ecosystems alive through their feeding and seed dispersal.
✨ Why this matters:
Fig trees are ecological powerhouses, supporting countless species. By observing the birds that flock to them, we understand the delicate balance of forest life and the interconnectedness of nature.
