      I thought they said “carrots” and I was like, I guess those birds do look like they have tiny green carrots hanging from their mouths.

        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.
