Dear All,
     Does anyone know which of New Caledonia's native animals eat the red 
fruits of Amborella.  I read that the fruits have very little, if any, odor 
or taste.  That along with the red color might indicate that they are eaten 
mostly by birds (rather than bats or reptiles).  But is there anything 
published on what kinds of birds eat these fruits?
   -----Thanks,
            Ken Kinman
