The huge numbers of fruit produced by the Moreton Bay fig make it a key source of food in the rainforest. It is an important food to the green catbird ("Ailuroedus crassirostris"), as well as fruit-eating pigeons such as the wompoo fruit-dove ("Ptilinopus magnificus"), and topknot pigeon ("Lopholaimus antarcticus"), and a sometime food of the rose-crowned fruit-dove ("Ptilinopus regina"). Other bird species that eat the fruit include the yellow-eyed cuckoo-shrike ("Coracina lineata"), pied currawong ("Strepera graculina"), Australasian figbird ("Sphecotheres vieilloti"), Regent bowerbird ("Sericulus chrysocephalus"), satin bowerbird ("Ptilonorhynchus violaceus"), and Lewin's honeyeater ("Meliphaga lewinii"). Fruit bats such as the grey-headed flying-fox ("Pteropus poliocephalus") also feed on the fruit. As well as the pollinating fig wasp, "Pleistodontes froggatti", syconia of the Moreton Bay fig are host to several species of non-pollinating chalcidoid wasps including "Sycoscapter australis" (Pteromalidae), "Eukobelea hallami" (Sycophaginae), and "Meselatus" sp. (Epichrysomallinae). The nematode species "Schistonchus macrophylla" and "Schistonchus altermacrophylla" are found in the syconia, where they parasitise "P. froggattii".
