Скачать или смотреть Capeweed Season 2016 Begins (•‿•❀)

Hooray! It's Capeweed time again. I love the stuff. All the meadows and roadside ditches here will be full of the golden daisies over the next few weeks. It's everywhere, and it makes me very glad. "The more the merrier," I say!

It's a pretty "invasive" weed from South Africa. (Also known as: Arctotheca calendula, cape dandelion, or cape marigold.) I notice that the Indian Ringneck parakeet is quite happy to nibble on the juicy and rather fleshy leaf stems of Capeweed. How did it learn they were non-toxic to parrots? And can Australian parrots safely enjoy them as part of their diet too?

Have a happy golden daisy springtime!
