I’ve looked everywhere and I cannot find a persimmon tree however there’s no telling where that thing might have come from I guess I’ll just keep on looking in the woods.

Bird/animal drop possibly? I live on a hilltop and found a fish in my yard once! (Okay my dog found it and rolled all over it to get the smell on himself wife was not pleased)

-Where did you get the coconuts?
~We found them.
-Found them? The coconut is tropical.
~What do you mean?
-Well, this is a temperate zone…Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
~Not at all. They could be carried.
-What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
~It could grip it by the husk.
-It’s not a question of where he grips it! It’s a simple question of weight ratio. A five-ounce bird could not carry a one-pound coconut. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?..Am I right?..I’m not interested.
~It could be carried by an African swallow.
-Oh, yes! An African swallow, maybe…Not a European swallow. That’s my point…I agree with that… But then, of course, African swallows are non-migratory…Oh, yes. They couldn’t bring a coconut, anyway.
~Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?
-No, they’d have to have it on a line.
~Simple. They’d use a strand of creeper.
-Held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
