Hi Buckaroobaby
I can't remember what they taste like, last time I had one I was a kiddo. The birds get to all the ripe ones before we do.
The sunbirds are so sweet, I'm glad you get visited by the Malachites, they are sneaky birds - you ever tried to photograph one? I swear the second they see a camera they leave. It's awesome that yours are flocking back to you, they are wonderful pollinators too.
Let me answer that question with a link to one of my old posts.

Aw man what cool photos and awesome post, I am so sorry that I didn't see it 7 months ago, would have 100%ed it. Shame, so you didn't drape your linen over the nesting area to keep the flies out but how many babies survived?
I'm envious of those gorgeous photos, freaking beautiful!
So I need a nickname for you because I feel awkward typing out Buckaroobaby on each of our discussions, what can I call you? Is Buck too masculine? Seems too masculine
