You are GP, but we share that accolade............want half my crayon ??????  😂

Ah Macadamias Countess - when I was living in Perth I had a fantastic Macca tree which gave me bounteous nuts every year..............until the Black Cockatoos found it, they would wait until I was just ready to harvest it come come winging in to have their feast.

One time I went to Coles to do a bit of shopping and by the time I got back the whole tree was stripped. From memory I got less than half a dozen nuts that year.........................

Is there no way to stop the marauding black cockatoos?

Short answer - nope. The tree was far too big for netting it, and no man in their right mind would take on a hungry Black Cocky, they can easily take a finger off with their beak........

It's hard enough to crack the Macca shells with a decent size hammer after all.

My house backs onto a park. A few houses up, there is a big walnut tree in the backyard, that well and truly hangs over the fence. Those ones are fair game. That was, until the white cockies found them a few years ago. They are completely stripped within a day of the pods starting to open. This is  BIG tree. I keep a close eye on it, but the birds beat me to it every year. Empty shells littering the ground. Very rarely I might find one intact one on the ground that they missed. I'm not that fussed on walnuts, but my mother loves them.

Of course. Greens are good for you.

We have been told that since we were kids. I suspect Padi is trying to eat a healthy diet.
