The tree does not look terrible. The leaves are bright green, the flowers are lovely white. This plant thrives in the tropics, from Hawaii, New Zealand to India. No one would have guessed if a cute plant called Pisonia Brunoniana turned out to be the killer of thousands of birds.

The terrible atmosphere can be seen from around the Pisonia Brunoniana tree. Bird carcasses strewn on the ground, hanging on trees. How can this tree kill?

This tree has long nuts. In the pea pods there is a sticky, sticky sap. This sap that traps insects to no longer fly. Birds that are attracted to nuts are also trapped. Or the bird eats insects that are helpless. When it is so, the bird is just waiting for death in the vicinity of the tree.

Uniquely unknown, why should this Pisonia tree kill thousands of birds and insects? Research argues that bird carcasses are used as nutrients, because the birds' dung is better. For dissemination, it is also irrefutable, since live birds remain more beneficial to Pisonia itself. As a result, the researchers call this phenomenon Pisonia Brunoniana as "accidental damage".
