Fw: [enviroweeds] Parrots eating & dispersing olives

["michael norris" <>]

Hi all

I hope you can help Katrina with this query which I've forwarded it from the 
Enviroweeds mailing-list.
Does anyone know if the cockatoos are likely to crush the olive stones to 
the extent that they would not be fertile?
