...that lighting a campfire of seasoned wood requires a bundle of kindling, an entire Sydney Morning Herald, and generous amounts of lighter fluid...
...yet one misplaced cigarette butt can instantly ignite a soggy coffee table on a rain-swept patio?

Were any lorikeets injured?
Were you fortunate to be across the street from the hospital?
Uh, why do you ask?
The question was not meant to be rhetorical.
As the lorikeets had already picked out all of the sunflower seeds, they were out of harms reach, otherwise occupied with the deflowering of a banksia tree on the hospital grounds.
Thanks to my lightning fast reflexes, accompanied as they were by some rather curious vocalizations, I was able to suffocate the blaze with a generous application of leftover bird seed and lemonade.
Today, the Mynahs are enjoying their breakfast slightly toasted with a hint of citrus.
Was the coffee table soaked due to spilled vodka and tequilla?
In costa rica we lit a fire using a lighter, a pad of paper from some hotel, some old wood and a can of bug spray! No joke. We were stranded on a beach and it was our only option. Too bad we didn't have any cigarettes and beer soaked tables lying around :)
PS... I just got back today and as I was unpacking realized I totally forgot to pack your crystal light lemonade! My mom may be shipping a few other things I forgot so I'll have her throw them in.
HAHA, I think they'll enjoy their newly flavoured breakfast
