Walk in without fear. They can smell fear...

Fear is the mindkiller.

When I was a kid, I had to go to the dentist and as I sat in the waiting room, I periodically heard horrible screams. I, uh, wasn't enthusiastic when they finally called me in. Turns out it was a parrot.

That sounds better until you realize that it would've been mimicking sounds it heard previously.

There are definitely parrots in that store.

The impact of the outbreak on the U.S. Hygienic Laboratory, with 16 of its workers affected, including two deaths, led to the formation of the National Institute of Health.

Wow! Today I learned.

I expected killer birds or something, this is kind of a downer but not your fault. Thanks anyway

No, this is obviously interesting. Thanks alot!

Interesting

My initial guess was that the parrots were taught some foul language, and sign was to assure parents that their kid's ears were safe

No more parrots, just a couple of very full snakes... :-P

[–] don@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

Pets of all kinds? Where are the parrots? Hmmm?

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Were the parrots like convincing people to commit suicide during the Great Depression or something?

Enjoy yourself with pets.... Hmmmmm
