Thank you Ushadi.

It is eating the seeds from the pods. All these years I was thinking doves and pigeons must be eating these seeds. Only this time I saw it happening in front of my eyes. I followed next few days and found pigeons were there on the same tree.

A few days back I have captured images of Ringed dove feeding on the seeds of this plant. I will upload in due course of time.

With regards,

Bimal
