The Magical Fruit
The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Ummm... I give my coffee drinkers bird friendly coffee: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/where-buy-bird-friendly-coffee
Note that their site is NOT complete. For example, this place (which has a black friday sale) has Smithsonian certified coffees but isn't on their interactive map.
I used to look for coffee certified by the Rainforest Alliance, but since Nestle seems to have bought them off, I worry that their standards have become compromised.
Why would you get them something that is from a label that has no standardization? "Bird friendly" doesn't even mean anything. Birds aren't real
There are standards. See here for general details: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/certification-agencies
D'oh! You got me.
