The Antirrhinum majus seed pods look just like little birds

Today, I processed a photo from my camera of a seedpod from a magnolia tree that I had posted to Flickr on 25Aug2023. Now it’s something of a portrait to a relative of Kermit.
Seedpod canoes that house little bits of nature that I collect on walks. The gorgeous background is a painting from my friend Tiel
Cassia fistula, commonly known as golden shower, purging cassia, Indian laburnum, or pudding-pipe tree is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. The species is native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions of Southeast Asia, from southern Pakistan through India and Sri Lanka to Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand. It is a popular ornamental plant and is also used in herbal medicine.
Cassia fistula is widely grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical areas. It blooms in late spring/early summer in hot, dry weather. Flowering is profuse, with trees being covered with yellow flowers, many times with almost no leaf being seen. It grows well in dry climates. Growth for this tree is best in full sun on well-drained soil; it is relatively drought-tolerant and slightly salt-tolerant. It will tolerate light brief frost, but can get damaged if the cold persists. It can be subject to mildew or leaf spot, especially during the second half of the growing season. The tree blooms better with pronounced differences between summer and winter temperatures.

This is the sacred lotus seedpod after drying and opening up to expose the seeds. If you look back a few photos you can see what this looked like a month ago. An interesting transformation.
Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary, on 24 June 2015. I love Poppies at all their stages - bud, flower and seedpod. This one has such a beautiful "velvet" cap.
Today, 31 October 2015, the temperature is 3°C late morning (apparently feels like 1°C). Yesterday, the forecast said we could have snow/rain today, but it has thankfully changed to just an overcast sky.
Not sure what these are, but they reminded me that Christmas is coming !! Hopefully someone (Lou?) can help identify ?
Update: I searched online and believe these are "Sweetgum Tree balls" Apparently they are fruit with tiny seeds inside which birds and others feed upon.
In my garden now. Although this is native wildflower in Missouri, my plants were grown from seeds collected along the rural roadside in Iowa. Webster Groves, Missouri.
The flowers are going to seed without attracting any monarch butterflies yet this year. By this date last year, I had already released 16 monarchs that I had raised from eggs or caterpillars collected from this type of milkweed. Webster Groves, Missouri.
