@Sting, ah makes sense. You said they are called honey eaters? I have heard of bee eaters. Saw them at the Bronx zoo once!

You are right. I always grew up with them being called hummingbirds. but a quick google tells me ours are different to yours.

@Sting, you live in Australia right? If so I am positive there aren't hummingbirds there. Sorry.

Actually they are "Honey-eaters"

Bird it would make sense, a lot of read dye in our food has been known to cause problems in the body.
I may not be 100% right, I believe Cancers and urinary problems.
I was all ways to avoid red dye in food and drinks growing up because of an over active bladder.

we have them here too. Also bee-eaters.

@Sting, yeah hummingbirds are only found in North and South America.

@Sunni, I haven't done research, but I have heard similar things about red dye. They don't need it to be attracted to the feeder.
Narran Park
09:23:55 Sting
I need to look into it.
I dont think feeding hummingbirds is much of a thing here in Australia.

It should be though!

Bird she was running around filling all the feeders during the conversation.
She has about 6 of them.
She makes the sugar water herself.
She says the red dye in it is bad for them.

Talking about hummingbirds for an hour sounds like something someone who is on the spectrum might do. I can be guilty of steering the topic away to something that interests me.

She probably wouldn't talk about it if she was.
It took her ages to tell me the doctor tried diagnosing me with autism as a kid. She wasn't happy about that answer and told them "nope she isn't."

Bird not to my knowledge, if anything she is very OCD.

After 20 minutes I was zoned out thinking about ice cream.

So, I've been reading up on horse genetics for RL. And came across something that's interesting. We all know that having homozygous WW results in Lethal white. But in RL, homo Rn results in a foal dying in the womb. Is this an oversight in the genetics?

I had a look and it seems that although that used to be thought to be true, it's not actually true.

"Although it has been suggested that Roan is a homozygous lethal, evidence from the Quarter Horse breed indicates otherwise. Production records have documented the existence of Roan Quarter Horses that produce 100% Roan foals. DNA tests have confirmed homozygosity in the genomic region that contains the Roan gene."

EDIT: I'm happy to be proven wrong because all i did was google search :P

Gemini is correct. It stems from the fact that a heterozygous roan and a homozygous roan both look very similar. So, people kinda thought that since there wasn't any noticeable difference, that homozygous roans didn't exist.
