    When I was a kid, I had to go to the dentist and as I sat in the waiting room, I periodically heard horrible screams. I, uh, wasn’t enthusiastic when they finally called me in. Turns out it was a parrot.

        The impact of the outbreak on the U.S. Hygienic Laboratory, with 16 of its workers affected, including two deaths, led to the formation of the National Institute of Health.

        Wow! Today I learned.

        My initial guess was that the parrots were taught some foul language, and sign was to assure parents that their kid’s ears were safe

    Were the parrots like convincing people to commit suicide during the Great Depression or something?
