I was wondering how the heck coconuts journeyed around the southern passages for what would have been probably years on ocean currents and arrive in the caribbean still viable for growth.

Or carried by a sparrow.

Not really gonna happen.

Is that an African or a European sparrow?

Neither, it's a Swallow. Still unclear if it's African or European though
