  Pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pines are coniferous trees of the genus Pinus, in the family Pinaceae.
Pines are mostly monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree, though a few species are sub-dioecious with individuals predominantly, but not wholly, single-sex.
Monterey Pine, Pond Pine), the seeds are stored in closed ("serotinous") cones for many years until a forest fire kills the parent tree; the cones are also opened by the heat and the stored seeds are then released in huge numbers to re-populate the burnt ground.

Ponderosa pine seedlings establish on burns from on-site seed, dropped from the crowns of surviving and fire-killed trees [120], and from off-site seed borne by wind [99].

Mexican white pines, with their large seeds, appear to be favoured, even though the cones are so heavy that they are difficult for the parrot to hold and are frequently dropped inadvertently.
With this pine species, the parrots sometimes refrain from clipping the cones free from the branches and work on them in place, hanging upside down, although their ability to extract seeds is hampered when the cones remain attached to the branches.
Learning to cut pine cones off branches and how to extract pine seeds is a slow and complex process and the parents continue to feed their youngsters fully capable of feeding themselves.
