[Tweeters] color my world: a little story about red parrot feathers

[Devorah the ornithologist]

hey everyone,

i just published my "translation" of a sweet little research paper
that investigates one interesting property of red parrot feathers that
i'll bet you didn't know they have: they (apparently) resist bacterial
degradation better than any other species' feathers, regardless of
color!
