This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Heard this on an National Public Radio broadcast the other day ("The
90-second Naturalist" with Thane Maynord (sp?) from the Cincy Zoo):

One of the most common types of macaws is the hyacinth macaw, named for its
purple-hued feathers.

Perhaps Silk's bird-brained relationships extended beyond Oreb.
