The prime use of them is fodder for a band of Carnaby Cockatoos who disassemble them in the green state.

Of course we're not impressed with attendant litter.<BR/><BR/>HermanoAntipodean Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207281597334838447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-14576045363448155662009-01-25T23:32:00.000-07:002009-01-25T23:32:00.000-07:00I have loved pine cones since I was a child, when ...I have loved pine cones since I was a child, when my war returned father made me an owl from a cone.
