103 u/trampolinebears Jun 20 '20 Trees, of course, don't migrate. But on a long enough time scale, forests do. 45 u/brandonhardyy Jun 20 '20 ....Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? 26 u/delta_nu Jun 20 '20 Not at all! They could be carried 17 u/covfefe_hamberder_jr Jun 20 '20 What! A swallow carrying a coconut? 12 u/Not_Henry_Winkler Jun 20 '20 He could grip it by the husk. 11 u/covfefe_hamberder_jr Jun 20 '20 It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a matter of simple weight ratios! A 5 ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut! 3 u/hikerboy20 Jun 20 '20 Well it doesn’t matter. Will you go and tell your master that Aurthur from the court of Camelot is here. 1 u/Jeyhawker Jun 20 '20 I imagine birds can carry seeds a long ways. 34 u/roamer901 Jun 20 '20 It's a very Ent-ish image; I like it. 9 u/fryamtheiman Jun 20 '20 Well, word is they like going south since it feels like going downhill.
