That ecology you described with abundant flowers dripping literally in nectar, what's the evolutionary story of that? I'm assuming it's not specifically for human consumption.

Yeah, no, it's very much bird pollination.

So birds are very good pollinators.

I mean, something I wrote about in my bird book, Where Song Began, they'll carry pollen large distances, flying foxes, also carrying pollen large distances.

But because they're large animals, you've got to feed them a lot.

We have got in Australia the largest nectar feeding birds.

I mean, our wattle birds, lorikeets, friar birds.

As a forager for food from native plants, how cautious do you need to be? How mindful do you need to be of scarcity and endangered plants? Yeah.
