    Birds laugh at your spicy peppers. My parrots LOVE to eat jalapenos and raw red Thai peppers. In the wild they eat them and spread/fertilize the seeds, so they don’t taste the spicyness.

      Birds fly to avoid predators. Plants are spicy to avoid being consumed. Humans combined both defense mechanisms into hot wings and eat them as a treat.
