I thought they were like a large, rare, green hummingbird with those long beaks that are actually just stems apparently.

The way the seeds are layered in the pods is really satisfying as well.

We call these 'papagei' in swiss german which is German for parrot. We also used to paint them with water colors

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
