Abstract	The waringin is a strangling fig that grows commonly on wayside trees. It is identified by its small, elliptical, smooth, sharp-tipped leaves and ripe figs that are orange-coloured and about 1 cm in diameter (Ng et al., 2005: 106-107). All the birds featured here are common species of urban environments (Yong et al., 2016). As the waringin strangles mature trees and damages buildings by growing out of cracks on concrete walls, it is seen as a destructive plant. The present observation, however, shows that it does seem to have a role in supporting bird diversity in urban landscapes.
