Aggression Suzie Q!
Aggression in parrots can be a serious problem, leading to unhappy birds and even unhappier owners. Causes of aggression in parrots include territoriality, hormonal fluxes during adolescence or breeding season, stress, lack of mental stimulation, and dominance issues, to name a few.
Do you understand better what I am saying now?

@earl-of-trumps saidAunt Jemima is a stereotype that should have ceased to exist long ago.
Do the young English dudes still refer to women as birds? I ask because PC-ism and
cancel culture can change a lot of things. Nothing is sacred, not even Aunt Jemima
@very-rusty saidyou ate the label?
I liked the Aunt Jemima label as did many others. It was part of having your pancakes.

btw, the syrup hasn't changed
only the racist label
@very-rusty saidI think you can probably have your pancakes without making fun of black people with unrealistic caricatures.

What if you saw a label on a product that showed some old, balding white guy with a stained white t-shirt and a pot belly wearing black socks and sandals with bermuda shorts? On a box of "Dirty Uncle Bob's Pancake Mix"? Would that be okay?

@suzianne saidI remember as a kid seeing the Aunt Jemima box coming out and the picture of the lady on it, and was so happy that we were going to be having pancakes, not something we had every day when I was growing up, as we were quite poor.
