Parrot
Parrots, also known as psittacines , are birds of the roughly 393 species in 92 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia.

"color psychology"' is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors can also enhance the effectiveness of placebos. For example, red or orange pills are generally used as stimulants. Color can indeed influence a person; however, it is important to remember that these effects differ between people. Factors such as gender, age, and culture can influence how an individual perceives color. For instance, heterosexual men

Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or face of a moving wave, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore.

Cat food
Cat food is food for consumption by cats. Cats have specific requirements for their dietary nutrients. Certain nutrients, including many vitamins and amino acids, are degraded by the temperatures, pressures and chemical treatments used during manufacture, and hence must be added after manufacture to avoid nutritional deficiency. The amino acid taurine, for example, which is found in meat, is degraded during processing, so synthetic taurine is normally added afterwards. Long-term taurine deficiency may result in retinal degeneration, loss of vision, and

Traditional upholstery uses materials like coil springs (post-1850), animal hair (horse, hog and cow), coir, straw and hay, hessians, linen scrims, wadding, etc., and is done by hand, building each layer up.

Most common calendars list Tuesdays as the 3rd day of the week.

Tuesday is the day of the week between Monday and Wednesday. According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week and so Tuesday is the second day of the week. According to some commonly used calendars, however, especially in the United States, Sunday is the first day of the week and so Tuesday is the third day of the week.

The international ISO 8601 standard places Monday as the first day of the week, and this is widely used on calendars in Europe and in international business.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

History of vegetarianism
The earliest records of vegetarianism as a concept and practice amongst a significant number of people are from ancient India and the ancient Greek civilizations in southern Italy and Greece. In both instances, the diet was closely connected with the idea of nonviolence toward animals (called "ahimsa" in India), and was promoted by religious groups and philosophers.
Following the Christianization of the Roman Empire in late antiquity (4th–6th centuries), vegetarianism nearly disappeared from Europe. Several orders of monks in medieval Europe restricted or

So I use a wheelchair and have a physical disability. Other people who are disabled would have mental or sensory disabilities also.
sorry to hear that, what can I say
It's okay, I was like it all my life. The concept of disability can mean many things for different areas. Do you know anyone disabled?
no, I do not
It is sort of my identity now. People call me disabled. But it's okay. I am happy.
I think people are afraid to talk openly to someone who is disabled in fearing they may offend them

view as needing to be fixed (the medical model). It may refer to limitations imposed on people by the constraints of an ableist society (the social model). Or the term may serve to refer to the identity of disabled people. Physiological functional capacity (PFC) is a related term that describes an individual's performance level. It gauges one's ability to perform the physical tasks of daily life and the ease with which these tasks are performed. PFC declines with advancing age to result in frailty, cognitive disorders

read, somewhere, all over the world. "I don’t mean to do it. I just want to write. But people respond to the power of literature. It's a dangerous thing: you can sway people by the power of language and make them do things according to your will. I don’t want to do that. But my work, written decades ago, is used in some anthology or collection, and I have discovered that things I say are counted on by some people today" (Selzer

What do you think of Gone with the Wind?
Well, I haven't seen it often. But it's kind of a wholesome family show right? Do you watch it?
It's actually a 1939 movie that was adapted from a novel written earlier
Oh cool! I thought it was a TV show :P who wrote the book? Maybe that will refresh my memory.

The European Basketball Championship is great fun to watch, and the name EuroBasket is really catchy too haha.
Oh yea? I love basketball myself, fun to watch.
So do I! It's also insane to think that the first championship in Europe was back in 1935.
Oh wow, i Know the game itself is from 1891 so thats a decent amount of time ago.
It really is a while ago. The host country for this first championship was actually Switzerland.
Haha seems like it wouldve been almost any other country to be honest.

I would like to know more about the Hindu beliefs.
Hinduism is widely practiced in India. What about it interests you?

Hinduism
Hinduism is an Indian religion and "dharma", or way of life, widely practised in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as "Sanātana Dharma", "the eternal tradition", or the "eternal way", beyond human history. Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions, with diverse roots and no founder. This "Hindu synthesis" started to

Portrayal of Hinduism.
Before the film's release, some Hindus expressed unhappiness about how Hindus are portrayed, the disrespect of their culture and the bad impression that it would give those not well exposed to Hinduism, while some gave a cautious welcome, asking other Hindus to look at it as satire and not the truth. Rajan Zed, a Hindu leader from Nevada, demanded that

My parents are taking me to buy a horse, whose name is Beauty, this coming weekend, and I'm trying to learn more about horses.
well first thing is that it is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family equidae
That'll be handy in my biology class I guess, but what should I know about the actual horse? What's the best way to shelter and feed one?
I dont know about that however, horses anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight or flight response.
What sort of predators would they realistically need to escape from on my parents' ranch?
Well in the wold, horses are prey animals that live in herds, which affects their reactions to other horses and to the world around them
The horse isn't going to be in the wild though, it's going to be domesticated. I'm starting to think maybe I should just ask my parents.

enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down, with younger horses tending to sleep significantly more than adults. Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth

Horse
The horse ("Equus ferus caballus") is one of two extant subspecies of "Equus ferus". It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, "Eohippus", into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies "
