"Conkers" from the liquid amber tree.
Cockatoos and galahs love to munch these and succeed in making quite a mess in the process.

"Conkers." Is that what you call them in your part of the world? I think I'll adopt that term for the fruit of the liquidamber tree we have in our backyard. Thank you!
Those are fascinating! I'd love to see the tree -- and the conkers -- and either of those birds eating them!!!
They remind me of the conkers that grow on our horse chestnut trees here.
I didn't even know that they have a name ... great picture!
