[quote=shidei;43591286]Repeatedly touching parrots below the head and neck can cause significant behavioral issues because many species treat the rest of the body as a sort of erogenous zone where contact is often part of a breeding/mating ritual, which can lead to frustration caused by hormonal behavior./quote] Why do you know so much about parrot fondling?
Probably from random encounters. I know from two Dutch girls I overheard in the train from Oslo to Bergen in 2004 that sheep will die if you turn them on their back and that Margot always stood with her knees locked. I keep wondering why my mind hasn't archived this information yet...

Albaclythe
The Thegndom of Great Albaclythe, or simply Albaclythe is a sovereign nation in the Southern Sea, in the Western Isles. It shares a small land border with Aprosia. The country is divided into three constituent countries (Ancland, Morlochclythe and Gwythedd respectively), along with the Sasanian Republic, which is considered a special administrative region within Albaclythe, whilst simultaneously being claimed by the Aprosian government.
Albaclythe emerged from the Acts of Unification between Ancland (which held domain over Gwythedd at the time) and Morlochclythe, which united the two countries into one political entity. However, the two states had already been in personal union since the crowning of Arthrel I of the House of Denver. After a tumultuous civil war from 1798-1803, the Thegndom grew into a large colonial power in the Southern Sea in teh
Updated flag and coat of arms. I know a lot of people like to avoid the "seal on a bedsheet" design, but in all honesty, I am okay with having something like that. Sometimes, for realism's sake, you have to have a slightly uglier flag.
Every month, the office selects a dispatch posted within the month that it has deemed exceptionally unique, creative and informative and deserves the recognition it needs. The dispatch is then featured here, as part of our Dispatch of the Month program. As long as the original author of the dispatch is in this region and exists on our Regional Map, the dispatch meets our requirements for the program.
Is there a dispatch you know that you feel is worthy of the award? If so, please do not hesitate to inform our Officer of Recognition - the official organizer of the program - of it. The office very much appreciates such nominations, as we are unable to keep track of every dispatch within the region.

❔ About the Dispatch of the Month
The Dispatch of the Month is a program launched and run by the Office of Information. As stated before, the program involves the office featuring a dispatch it likes and feels the need to commend. The program was done in order to stimulate regional activity, encourage creativity, improve writing skills, and boost the overall nationbuilding quality.
The following requirements need to be met in order for a dispatch to be eligible for nomination:
Author must be in the region and regional map
Dispatch will have to be posted within the month
We determine the Dispatch of the Month results through a number of criteria. Each are worth 10 points, and the highest total score you can achieve is 40. The criteria are:
Uniqueness: What makes it different from other dispatches and nominees.
Creativity: How original and creative the dispatch itself is.
Visual Appealingness: How appealing the dispatch is.
Information: How informative the dispatch is.
You can also nominate any dispatch (yes, even yours) so long that it meets our guidelines. This greatly helps us reach a larger number of dispatches and possible nominees. However, only the dispatch with the highest total points based off our criteria will claim the title of Dispatch of the Month.
