A blazingly multicolored small parrot with a squat pigeon's build, the short little beak its only dull feature. 

Green back, purest distilled blue on wings and face, chest the rich red-to-yellow of an extra photogenic mango. Gorgeous creature.

> The brilliantly colored turquoise parrot nests in the hollows of gum trees and can often be found in grasslands & open woodlands. These birds will occasionally wander for food, feeding on grass, seeds, flowers, and fruit.

HDS - Global The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a discreet sign that the wearer has a hidden disability and may need additional support

We'd much rather you be through security quickly for everyone's sake. For yours, having a good experience, and for ours, not having you potentially slow the folks behind you.

Denver Airport is one of many that recognizes the Sunflower hidden disabilities symbol. If you need it, get a lanyard.

True, aside from selling all data provided to this site. Which I guess I anticipate from literally every social media site and medical database at this point?

What other option are you seeing? Paid subscriptions?

I mean this in the "you are not immune to propaganda / operant conditioning" sense, as related to constant floods of trollbots / arguebots.

Or simply ignorant of human psychology? I can't find the survey right now, but the surveyed veterinarians overwhelmingly said that most other vets would be influenved by gifts/favors from medication/food companies -- but each individual respondent said that they would not be.

The famed limestone ostracon listing workers and their reasons for missing work is from the reign of Ramses II, circa 1250 BCE. Making beer (for the Gods) and taking care of one’s mother and fetching stone for a scribe are indeed valid excuses for missing work. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
