Mango tree is bird magnet

Today the neighbors' mango tree was a bird magnet. I have never seen birds eat mango, but today I watched a Mockingbird, Spot-Breasted Oriole, and Blue Jay eat mangoes from the same tree. There was also a Loggerhead Shrike that visited the tree also, which the mockingbird was not too happy about.
