A Conversation for The Healing Properties of Chillies
Facsinating fact!

The facsinating fact about vultures not eating the spicy flesh of dead wandering mexicans is a complete untruth.
All birds lack the receptors that mammals have which allows us to detect capsaicin, therefore chillies aren't spicy to birds... hence the name bird pepper, often used in Africa... birds love them.
Throw some in your parrot's cage, put some on your bird table. The little critters will thank you!
