<p>We had a few <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-browed_bulbul" rel="noreferrer">white browed bulbuls</a> visit us recently. </p> <p>One of them seemed to have a peculiar interest in the chillies that grew in one of our pots (I believe these are bird's eye chillies [no pun intended]. They are really hot). I wasn't able to see if it was actually eating up the chillies, but for sure it was tearing them down from the plant. Do birds eat chillies? Do they feel the same heat as we do? (obviously there's no direct way of knowing, but any scientific study done on this?)</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GBWy6.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/GBWy6.jpg" alt="Eyeing the chilli?"></a> <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kt2xI.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kt2xI.jpg" alt="Plucking a chilli"></a></p>
