Lovely birds
The last one is not a fig, but if you like an Indian fig and commonly called a prickly pear

Afrikaans name for prickly pear is : Turksvy - directly translated Turkish Fig .
Very very nice to eat the fruit , make jam , and , leaves ( those hairy prickly flat things ) , peeled , cut into squares , boiled and cooked in sugar syrup makes a delicious preserve same as melon preserve
