      These are the same green "parrots" (rose ring- necked parakeets) kept as pets by English & Europeans in the Middle Ages. https://twitter.com/LDN/status/925115141401792512 …

      do you know how early they were introduced to Africa? I know they're native to India, but now are naturalized widely. Wonder about MAges.

      Clement of Alexandria scorns women for keeping parrots in his Pedagogus, for example as well.

      Parrots: Not just a western medieval phenomenon, & in fact were in Europe before the Middle Ages entirely.

      Fabulous! :) If I recall correctly, parrots are associated w/ India in Roman textual & artefactual sources, though? Can't think, offhand, >

          yeah the association w/India is interesting to me, coconuts face the same thing.

          w/coconuts I assumed that demand outstripped east African/Yemeni supply, but if there are massive flocks of parrots then...?
