![Indian paintbrush (Castilleja) or prairie-fire, has over 200 varieties. The flowers of Indian paintbrush are edible, and were consumed in moderation by various Native American tribes as a condiment with other fresh greens. These plants have a tendency to absorb and concentrate selenium in their tissues from the soils in which they grow, and can be potentially very toxic if the roots or green parts of the plant are consumed. Highly alkaline soils increase the selenium levels in the plants. Indian paintbrush has similar health benefits to consuming garlic if only the flowers are eaten in small amounts and in moderation.[3]<br />
<br />
The Ojibwe used a hairwash made from Indian paintbrush to make their hair glossy and full bodied, and as a treatment for rheumatism. The high selenium content of this plant has been cited as the reason for its effectiveness for these purposes. Nevada Indian tribes used the plant to treat sexually transmitted diseases and to enhance the immune system.](https://www.megsommers.com/img-get/I0000IrpDRln0uWA/t/200/I0000IrpDRln0uWA.jpg)

![The American Robin or North American Robin[2] (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. The American Robin is active mostly during the day, and on its winter grounds it assembles in large flocks at night to roost in trees in secluded swamps or dense vegetation. The flocks break up during the day when the birds feed on fruits and berries in smaller groups. Calcite Cliffs, Yellowstone.](https://www.megsommers.com/img-get/I0000OaexQW_ba.U/t/200/I0000OaexQW_ba.U.jpg)
