birds nest fern

I used to wonder how the Birds Nest Fern got its name. It's not as if it looks like a bird's nest.


My workmate Q keeps chickens. Although there's a perfectly good hen-house, some of them have their own ideas about where to lay, and the most popular nesting spot is in a birds nest fern.

    Did you marinate it before putting it on the braai?

    Mingers. My colleague's doing 3 of them instead of a turkey.

    All - photos are in the wrong order thanks to the random app I use to post from mobile.

    The bird looks like it is pretty comfy. Things often get names for good reason.

    Nanners. They have a type of palm tree in Australia called a cabbage tree. Albert can't explain why.

    Mingers. I think you're saying MM IV was hatched in a fern, instead of found under a cabbage like the rest of us.
