Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.

The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

Characters’ breath is clearly visible- imagine one of them infectious😬 shocking to watch them spraying visible aerosols at each other’s faces

It’s what we do all day invisibly…

Covid is in our house again… @cleanairstars.com I saw there’s a new Philips air purifier, the 4200i. Any stats? Couldn’t see it on the database. Comparing with the Levoit 600s for an urgent purchase!

Wondering why so many people have mycoplasma (aka walking pneumonia) lately? Here’s a clue.

Just published: after propensity matching, those w/ prior #COVID19 infection were about 3x more likely to get mycoplasma than those without #COVID: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
