Promiscuous Parrots.

So I was watching TV last night and it turns out there's this really unusual type of parrot that has a lot of Australian outdoorsmen very excited because (and apparently this is a big deal) the female is bright red but the male is bright green.

The way the Australians were talking, you'd think they'd discovered a parrot that could accurately predict the future or lay eggs that cured baldness. But no. Just parrots of remarkably different color. I admit I was lured into the show, especially when the Australian man explained that these parrots are highly promiscuous: the women sit in their trees all day and let different men regurgitate food into their mouths, and the men fly from tree to tree feeding as many lady parrots as they want.

Be honest, kids: am I turning into one of those crazy nature-show-loving people?
