Come back after they sprout and I’ll put a lot of the seeds out for you.

Birds are immune to the thing that makes peppers spicy to us; they lack the receptor to experience the heat. I used this fact a few years ago when I got stuck with a couple of bags of really spicy chips. I took them to some peacocks near my place, and they seemed to accept them graciously if not enthusiastically.

The baby chicks further down the street, however, swarmed the car when I started distributing them.

Jalapenos, with a Scoville of 8,500 max seems a little wimpy for Vicky. I’d expect her to be growing the Ghost Pepper (Scoville of 1,041,427) or Pepper X (2,693,000 Scoville)!

If you can look tough, most people (and some wildlife) will listen to you.

I heard that the jalapeño finally finished school.

He is now known as Dr. Pepper.

They say jalapeños are hot

But I find them to be a chili pepper.

Why couldn’t the green pepper practice archery?

because It didn’t habenero . .

a bird can literally get no nutrition from jalapeno seeds, they’ve evolved to go through the avian digestive system without being broken down so they can grow somewhere else. The bird would be able to get nutrients from the jalapeno itself, so it would benefit it to let the seeds grow. Of course this isn’t a toucan or some other tropical bird species so it might work a little differently.

Yay Vicki has came. Like things spicy

I stand corrected, Jalapeno I always bought were red when ripe

2nd panel is like my niece teasing my sister. Little cutie

This bird is no bird brain. I will never understand why some people enjoy burning their mouths and wreaking havoc with their digestive systems.

The question is, was the bird reacting to the information, or the scary alter ego dispensing it?

Rose is a sweet person. But never mess with her jalapenos of you will get Vickie on your case
