  "text": "I not only left the house today but I also stayed out of my pyjamas until 3:30PM. I am the miracle we all need right now 😂 Not only did I leave the house, but I left the local area and headed up to Mt Annan to the botanic gardens there, a place I absolutely love and wasn't disappointed. I kind of got stuck trying to get a decent photo of the totally sexy AF male Mistletoebird or as I like to call them, total bastards. \n\nThese birds are like toddlers at a party after one too many chocolate crackles (is that even a thing these days? I mean, aren't all kids parties catered to within an inch of their life? In a world of gluten-free, dairy free pulled pork sliders, is there a place for the humble choc crackle? 😂) Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that these birds just do not sit still. They bounce from branch to branch gobbling mistletoe berries which they swallow whole and thanks to their specially adapted digestive system, come out pretty much whole - well, with the flesh gone but the seed fully intact (these birds lack the gizzard which usually grinds up food). These seeds come out sticky, dangling in what looks like glue, PVA mind you, not Perkins Paste which is, and I stand by this statement, absolutely delicious (do not try this at home!)  - trust me, I did try and get a photo for you all! 🙌 but failed - and these seeds then to stick to the branches which then germinate new plants. Genius! \n\nNow all that bouncing and feeding and pooing, often amongst the spiky branches and out of decent light, make them a pain in the butt to get photos of. But thanks to the lovely Danielle who I ran into today I was able to see a Mistletoebird nest, something I would never have found myself being away from the bank of trees they tend to hang out in. The nest is kind of beautiful. It looks like a soft bag almost, hanging on the outer branches of a small tree/shrub in this case. It's made from spider web and matted plant material and I watched as the female who builds the nest was taking in beakfuls of fluff from the reeds lining the lake nearby. Imagine how soft and smooshy that would be? For total bastards, they sure do know how to make a lovely home for their bubbas.\n\nMistletoebird - male\nMt Annan",
