Surely carpet bombing with psittacine turds over 1,000,000 Scoville units counts as chemical warfare and is a violation of the Geneva Convention?

like do they think that just because THEY don't go out and try it, we haven't ourselves? it says a lot about *their* epistemic grounding and willingness to be a, you know, psittacine bird undergoing system evolution well-described by a random probability distribution, but

Could be PBFD, Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease. They suffer in bad weather, poor thing.

Who needs a city scene when you can find a psittacine stone in such a pretty scene on the edge of England?

See the old, old, worldwide joke *The Parrot with a White Ribbon around its neck* (or its national variants) as evidence that psittacine self-pleasuring has been known about for so long it had jokes made about it years ago.

As a psittacine (cockatiel), I'd kill for these in a (slim?) two-two toe version. Owls might love that as well... So far ain't seen any whatsoever.

Deadly bird virus PaBV-4 identified for first time in India
A team of scientists has, for the first time in India, identified and genetically characterised a virus that often causes rapid death in captive psittacine birds, raising concerns about the health of exotic pets and conservation of threatened parrot species. Psittacine, which means relating to or resembling a parrot, describes the bird family Psittacidae and order Psittaciformes. It includes budgerigars, cockatiels, cockatoos, lovebirds, macaws, and parakeets. Research team The team, led by Pankaj Deka and Sangeeta Das of the Assam Veterinary and Fishery University in Guwahati, found and characterised parrot bornavirus 4 (PaBV-4) circulating among captive psittacine birds in India. Their study was published in Scientific Reports. The other members of the team are Ritam Hazarika, Parikshit Kakati, Bhaskar Choudhury, Suchanda Doloi, Abdul Kasheef, Sophia M. Gogoi, Sutopa Das, Rajeev Kumar Sharma, Saidul Islam, Mrinal Nath, Mihir Sarma, and Ilakshy Deka. They represent institutions in Assam and Gujarat. They tested 83 psittacine birds from 13 species in aviaries in Assam, Karnataka, and West Bengal in 2020-2024. The birds included the African grey parrot, ochre-marked parakeet, yellow-collared macaw, eastern rosella, blue-crowned hanging parrot, rainbow lorikeet, and scarlet-chested parrot. Three groups They divided the birds into three groups: those showing clinical signs...

This lorikeet was rescued , and now introduces its human to every bird it knows. Psittacine birds can develop genuine reciprocity behaviors toward the people who helped them.

psittacine apotheosis (n.) -- from L. psittacus, parrot, + Gk. apotheosis, elevation to divinity. The deification of a parrot; the solemn ascent of a creature that can only repeat what it has heard. Fig., a mind canonized for eloquence it never authored.

I drew these ANSI donut-birds after I misunderstood someone describing their bird as a 'donut' when they meant that the bird's name was Donut

So many reproductions of #oviraptor have been based on cassowaries - but looking at the skull, I realized I knew that shape.
What if oviraptor was psittacine?
Maybe it ate cycad seeds.

That's why the data centers don't use as much water as people assume they do. They're making up the difference with endangered psittacine blood.

Crossword puzzle fans: Do you think a clue with the solution "psittacine" is proper? I thought the deal was that crossword solutions, even if technical, would be accessible to a generally educated person. "Psittacine" (of the parrot family) seems over the line to me. Thoughts?
