Haworthia Species

Central Phoenix -- Curve-billed thrashers just love Haworthia cooperi truncata. They start by poking holes in the ends of each leaf, the...Read Moren keep working on the plant until it gets small and scabbed over, at which point they dig it up entirely and leave it with its root ball in the air. They desire it so strongly they push at bird netting until it is close enough to the plant they can reach through it with their bill. They do this with many Haworthias, particuary windowed types. I can keep H. C. truncata only in a pot that sits in an area hard for the birds to get at.
