That's deadass the best way to smoke with most animals.

Their systems are generally smaller and more sensitive than ours, so what would be considered trave amounts to us is enough to get them pleasantly high with whatever it is.

I know a lot of stoners whose dogs like to stand in the clouds and just *absorb* them; that's why.

I can only imagine the bird was repeating something said behind closed doors so they're trying to make its throat sore

Right like - are these two paintings of the same story/incident, or was there an epidemic of cardinals blowing smoke in parrot's faces.

Apparently it was the recommended method for taming a parrot once upon a time.
