Episode 8 Is Cursed

Melissa and Sip are busily working on episode 8 but with a few technical difficulties and both of your intrepid hosts going back to real-work in real-person, Episode 8 of Pawsome will be delayed. However, Melissa is putting in a tide-you-over goodie from her show, BewilderBeasts.
Topics include: President Andrew Jackson's swearing parrot was kicked out of a presidential funeral for swearing; 5 parrots in a UK Zoo made some exhibits R rated; and predatory birds in Australia are using fire to catch prey, much to the dismay of firefighters.
