Game Assets Notes

These are plants shown in Dragon Age but aren't named in universe, just in their model files or through identification of the textures. Since most filler plant textures are just that of real world plants.

**NOTE:** When I mention they are not the known name of any plant, this comes with the caveat of being popular common names. Common names are highly variable and inconsistent. They depend on regional knowledge and association. Some travel farther than others. Common names are also not reliable identifiers.

Acacia: Black Wood ~ Note: Black Wood is a type of acacia. Both acacia and black wood are named assets.

Artichoke ~ Note: Identification comes from asset name, the artichoke flower is used as ornamentation of a box.

Banyan Tree

Boxwood ~ A type of shrub, identification comes from asset name.

Bradford Pear ~ Their fruits are edible, however their flowers are known to emit a smell akin to rotting meat. Identification comes from asset name.

Calla Lily ~ Note: Not named but identified by the texture used. It is seen in Val Royeaux planters.

Cattail ~ Note: Seen through out DAO and DAI, identification comes from asset name.

Coleus ~ Note: Not named but identified by the texture used. It is seen in Val Royeaux planters and in the Frostback Basin.

Crape Myrtle

Cypress: Italian Cypress, Topiary Cypress ~ Note: In terms of the Italian Cypress, in world it wouldl likely be called the "Antivan Cypress" given that Antiva is pulling from Italian culture, food, environments, and other inspirational elements. Cypress is a plant that is named in canon.

Daikon Radish ~ Note: Found on Dennet's farm, identification comes from asset name.

Dogwood

Elephant Ear ~ Note: Foliage found in the Frostback Basin, identification comes from asset name.

Fade Berry

Fern: Red Fern, Sword Fern ~ Note: The red fern isn't a real plant and therefore can be considered unique to Thedas. In contrast the sword fern is a real plant. Identification comes from the asset name for both of these ferns.

Forest Clover

Foxleaf ~ Note: This is another plant that is not real, no plant has this common name as far as I could find.

Gasbloom ~ Note: Seen in the Arbor Wilds, the Frostback Basin some elven ruins, and the elven ruins of multiplayer levels. Their identification comes from the asset name. There are two versions of the texture the "fixed" version is used in JoH dlc and thus explains the difference in appearance. This is not the name of a known mushroom.

Hero Tree

Palm: Curly Palm, Fan Palm ~ Note: Both palms are seen in the Frostback Basin, both are identified by their named assets.

Pear Cactus ~ Note: Found in the Frostback Basin, identification comes from the asset name.

Pine: Chir Pine

Ponga Tree ~ Note: Also known as the 'Tree Fern'. This is the tree you see in Val Royeaux garden as coming from Par Vollen, and throughout the Arbor Wilds.

Redwood ~ Note: Identified by the name of the file asset. Found in the Winter Palace, Exalted Plains, and on multiplayer maps.

Snapdragon

Trex

Waterweed ~ Note: In real life this is an entire genus not one particular plant. Though the six plants in this genus do share the common name of waterweed.

White Birch

Witchhazel

Additional Notes and Trivia

Ironwood - Unclear if this is an alternative name, the actual name of the plant, or both.

Morel - This mushroom is inferred due to the existence of Blighted Morel. However it is not explicitly specified there is a non-blighted morel.

Sponge Root - Though canonical as it is mentioned and shown in World of Thedas vol. 2 on pg. 138 with a collection of deep mushroom and surface mushroom illustrations. This mushroom was cut twice from Inquisition. It was cut from the base game as a craftable, it had a much different appearance from its final design, and then it was cut again from Trespasser. It does however still make an appearance in Inquisition as the inventory icon for Crystal Grace.

Unnamed Glowing Mushroom Is mentioned in multiplayer when there are two Lukas playing.

Unnamed Mushroom These brown mushrooms are seen in the Fallow Mire and the Frostback Basin. They are shown in two different sizes ranging from shorter than a dwarf to taller than one.

There is one unlisted mushroom, its assets is named "red mushroom" and thus is identified by textures. These is not a canon name but is included for completeness. Amanita Muscaria: More commonly know as fly agaric or fly amanita, the red top with white spots is an iconic in its imagery. You will find large swaths of these mushrooms in the Frostback Basin. Their assets is named "Red Mushroom".

Winterberry is a real plant. However, from what we see in DA2, it does not the same as the plant we have in the real world, just a shared common name.

Wormroot is another real plant name. However, due to the description in The Calling, it does not seem to be the same plant. In The Calling it is used to treat the venom of a giant spider. The real world plant is used to treat parasites in the gut and does not seem to hold any shared uses in folk lore, folk medicine, or western medicine practices.

Boost Your Metabolism with Green Tea, Antioxidant Foods, and Herbal Supplements

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy metabolism is essential for overall well-being. A well-functioning metabolism helps in burning calories efficiently, maintaining a healthy weight, and promoting optimal energy levels throughout the day. Alongside regular exercise and a balanced diet, incorporating green tea, antioxidant-rich foods, and herbal supplements into your routine can provide a natural and effective boost to your metabolism. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of these metabolism boosters and how to incorporate them into your daily lifestyle. 1. Green Tea: The Elixir of Metabolism Boosters Green tea has been revered for centuries for its numerous health benefits, and it is widely known for its metabolism-boosting properties. The secret lies in its unique composition of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG has been shown to increase thermogenesis, which encourages the body to burn calories and fat more efficiently. Additionally, green tea can help curb appetite, further supporting weight management efforts. To incorporate green tea into your routine, try enjoying a cup in the morning or mid-afternoon. Avoid excessive consumption, as the caffeine content in green tea may disrupt sleep patterns and cause restlessness. Consider opting for high-quality loose-leaf green tea for the best taste and maximum health benefits. 2. Power Up with Metabolism-Boosting Foods Alongside green tea, the following antioxidant-rich foods can supercharge your metabolism: a. Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all packed with antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. They are also rich in fiber, which aids digestion and promotes a healthy gut microbiome. b. Leafy Green Vegetables: Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are low in calories but high in nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to any metabolism-friendly meal plan. c. Spices: Incorporating spices such as cayenne pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon into your meals can give your metabolism a natural boost. These spices contain compounds that can increase thermogenesis, helping you burn calories more effectively. d. Lean Proteins: Foods like chicken breast, fish, tofu, and beans provide a good source of protein. Protein requires more energy to digest compared to carbohydrates or fats, which means your body burns more calories during the digestion process. Adding these metabolism-boosting foods to your meals can not only enhance your metabolism but also provide a wide range of other health benefits. 3. Herbal Supplements: Nature's Support for Metabolism Supplementing your diet with herbal extracts can further support your metabolism and overall well-being. Here are a few examples of herbal supplements known for their metabolism-boosting properties: a. Green Coffee Bean Extract: Derived from unroasted coffee beans, this supplement contains a high concentration of chlorogenic acid. Studies have shown that chlorogenic acid can enhance metabolism and promote greater fat utilization. b. Cayenne Pepper Extract: Capsaicin, the active compound in cayenne pepper, has been found to increase thermogenesis and help suppress appetite. Incorporating cayenne pepper extract into your routine can support weight management efforts. c. Forskolin Extract: Obtained from the root of the Coleus forskohlii plant, forskolin extract has been shown to stimulate the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cells. Increased cAMP levels can boost metabolism and promote the breakdown of stored fat. When considering herbal supplements, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Conclusion: Boosting your metabolism naturally is achievable by incorporating green tea, antioxidant-rich foods, and herbal supplements into your daily routine. Green tea's thermogenic properties, along with the inclusion of metabolism-boosting foods, provide a solid foundation. Additionally, herbal supplements such as green coffee bean extract, cayenne pepper extract, and forskolin extract can further enhance your metabolism. Remember, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including regular exercise and a nutritious diet, is key to reaping the full benefits of these metabolism boosters. Tags: 1. Green tea benefits 2.

Changing the Colors

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” Albert Camus

After a dry and hot summer, I look forward to the warm days and cooler nights of autumn. Mostly, I get excited about the changing of the guard whereby the leaves on my many deciduous trees turn into a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors mimicking a glorious sunset.

It is November and only a handful of my trees are changing their foliage, much to my dismay. This is the time of year when I want to decorate with orange, yellow, crimson, burgundy, and gold. Because of a combination of weather conditions, chemical processes, individual genetic traits, and physiological changes, trees change their colors. When the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, trees reduce the production of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green pigment that is responsible for photosynthesis and in the fall, it breaks down and disappears from the leaves allowing other colors to surge to prominence. The yellow and orange hues that we see in leaves in autumn are always present but masked by the dominant green. When the chlorophyll disappears, the sunset or sunrise colors emerge.

Some trees, specifically maples and oaks, produce anthocyanin pigments. These pigments create blue, purple, and red in the leaves. As consumers, we are familiar with anthocyanins when we “eat the rainbow”, enjoying the antioxidant properties of berries, grapes, cherries, plums, pomegranates, red cabbage, eggplant, black beans, and of course, wine!

Species of trees that showcase a colorful changing of the guard in fall include Japanese Maple, Sugar Maple, Ginkgo Biloba, Red Oak, Liquidambar, Aspen, Dogwood, Black Tupelo, Chinese Pistache, Sumac, Honeylocust, Hickory, and Beech. Several of these species grow in my garden, and I hope that by Thanksgiving they will have changed into their wondrous wardrobes before the branches shed their leaves for winter.

This year I joined the ranks of tourists who are dubbed “leaf peepers” because I traveled to the Great Lakes and Canada to witness the spectacular fall foliage displays. Of all the trees I admired, it was the glorious sugar maples that won my heart as they flaunted their brilliant yellow, red, orange, and burgundy leaves. Sugar maples boast an added benefit. The sap can be tapped and boiled to make a rich and delicious maple syrup. At the home of my cousin, Donnie, and his wife, I sampled two versions of this delectable syrup that they made from their backyard sugar maple tree. Holes in the tree trunk were a testament to the tapping. The sap must be boiled down to the correct consistency and the process is time-consuming. The syrup will be light, medium, or very dark depending on what month the harvesting is done. The flavors vary with the darkest syrup being the richest and most dense.

The vibrant colors of autumn are not only experienced in the changing of the leaves, but also in containers and beds planted with mums, dahlias, cannas, marigolds, petunias, roses, phlox, calibrachoas, salvias, sages, verbenas, impatiens, and coleus. It’s easy to design a beautiful combination by tucking several different species into a container filled with potting soil, allowing calibrachoas, verbenas, and petunias to spill over the sides.

As I wander my garden, I anticipate that every leaf will become a flower bursting with burgundy, maroon, bronze, gold, red, yellow, and orange. The color guard of autumn is majestic and worth the wait. Be a leaf peeper!

Happy Gardening! Happy Growing.

First Reunion

Poppyseed turned the corner of the open door and found herself face to face with the most vibrant purple eyes she had ever seen. She startled, jumping back as best she could just as the stallion they inhabited did the same. With a flush of awe she took in the sturdy dark blue figure in front of her, his eyes that seemed to burn into her soul instantly like two deep pools of galaxy, his long wavy white forelock that drifted over the edge of his long dark freckled face, and of course his large wings which had spread to their full length in a startled reaction to their too-close meeting. She found herself flickering her gaze between those mesmerizing eyes and those vast wings covering the world behind him, unintentionally blocking everything else that wasn't him from her attention.

After a moment of startled staring, both sets of eyes darting to explore the fascinating new specimen they found before them, the pegasus began to stutter. "I-oh-uh-"

"S-sorry." Poppyseed blurted before he could get a clear word out, feeling extremely awkward once the full realization that they were standing uncomfortably close, almost muzzle to muzzle, hit her. Her fur felt like fire as he jerked back, folding his wings in a smooth motion, and blew a puff of air up at his forelock to push it out of the way. Great Celestia, why was she blushing so much? It was an embarrassing first impression, she could admit that, but then why did she suddenly care about a first impression with a random pony she accidentally ran into?

"Uhh, no my fault-" The pegasus managed. Poppyseed couldn't help but continued to stare, why this pony was gorgeous, his wavy white hair, darkened to indigo at the roots was very frizzy, like he didn't brush it quite enough, but it fell along the side of his face in such a fine way that Poppy thought it didn't disrupt his good looks at all- woah, what? What was she thinking? By Twilight's throne, his eyes really were hypnotizing.

"No, really! Um I'll get out of your way." Poppyseed blurted, disrupting her thoughts in the only way she knew how - talk loud. She side-stepped and circled as he did the same, the two ponies passing each other in a slow, uncomfortable way until they could finally leave the other behind.

She breathed out a sigh of relief, realizing that she had held her breath the whole time. The flustered tension was fading away as well as the burning blush in her fur. She couldn't help but glance back as the pegasus tried to walk in the door-

"Woahhh!" Chocolate Chip's high-pitched voice caught her ears as he appeared in the doorway as well, again making the pegasus jump back in alarm. With a start Poppy turned back to see what her brother would do. Had he seen what just happened? Oh no, he was about to draw attention to it and to her, ugh, she had wanted to leave this strange encounter behind forever! She hated the hot, mesmerized trance that enveloped her and the intrusive thoughts that filled her head as she stared at such a glorious looking pegasus specimen of the male variety.

"Hey, dad, it's Cepheus!" Chip exclaimed and Poppyseed watched as the pegasus stepped back, a sudden recollection coming forth from the farthest reaches of her brain. Cepheus?

"Oh!" Cepheus exclaimed. "Uh, no it's-it's Coleus, I-I prefer Coleus." He stammered, and then smiled sheepishly as Chip completely ignored him, beginning to ramble.

Poppyseed didn't hear him however, for she was lost in a flood of childhood memories. Of a scared little stormy blue pegasus with white hair hiding behind his earth-pony mother. The same thin little colt following Poppyseed Muffin, Chocolate Chip, Shooting Star, and Cherry Berry as they in turn followed the lead of the older Vanilla Bliss through fields, playgrounds, or apple groves, always the tail end of the group, the nervous follower who didn't pipe up much, was so quiet that they often forgot he was there. Of course his presence also meant an extra able to fit any character no other foal wanted during games. They were never mean to him, well Chip and Poppyseed weren't, Shooting Star could be a bit impulsive though, eager to fall into habits quote unquote cooler foals took up, playgrounds bullies called the colt "Whitehead" and she followed the lead, it wasn't as if having naturally white hair was weird or rare, it was only a bit of an unusual trait to pick out among a crowd of such a vibrantly colored species such as the pony race. Poppyseed remembered him talking only briefly, and in turn she never really had much to say to him, in fact she found it kinda unsettling when he randomly would stare in her direction, his pupils were often so wide that their galaxy hue never really registered, that and the fact that Poppyseed was a whirlwind of a child, not one to often stop and process the details of a ponies appearance. Now that she heard the name, the memories were clear as day. That's it, he's familiar to me, I just couldn't place how, that's what that was, I was just trying to remember. She decided.

Cepheus, no Coleus -Strange. . .maybe it's the second half of his full name and he just likes it better- blanched as both S'more and Rosebud appeared beside Chip. Chocolate Chip grinned widely and gestured for Poppyseed to join them. "Do you remember Poppy? Oh obviously you must since you stood there staring at each other for like a full minute!"

Poppyseed shook her paw-hoof in a hacking motion in front of her throat, but Coleus didn't take Chip's bait, he was now looking at S'more in awe. S'more grinned famously and reached up a hoof. "Hey man, look how you've grown!" He teased. Coleus hesitated before putting his hoof to his in a gesture of greeting, letting the shorter stallion shake it up and down. "H-hello, Mr Pie" It came out as a sort of gulp.

S'more huffed dismissively. "I've never liked formality, you can just call me S'more or Toasted Marshmallow like everyone else, son."

Coleus lowered his hoof, staring for just a moment longer before clearing his throat. "I-I know you get this a lot and I know I've met you before when I was a colt, but I just want to say that ever since I was old enough to appreciate good music, I've been kind of a big fan of yours- um, so nice to-to re-meet you, Mr- uh S'more."

He grew silent, but Toasted Marshmallow didn't let it be awkward, because every word he smiled the slightest bit more until he was grinning from ear to ear by the time Coleus had finished talking. "I'm delighted to hear it! Though I do hear it a lot nowadays, it seems special coming from a older version of a colt I used to watch follow my kiddos around, heh. I'm glad you're back in ponyville, though I'm sorry to hear about your mother."

Coleus smiled again. "Ah, yes, she. . .was the greatest mother a kid could ask for. I'm actually here because of her, you see I never was much interested in my pegasus family's intense connection to astronomy, so I've found a path from her to follow instead. . ." He trailed off. "Sorry I'm rambling." He gave a sheepish chuckle before looking back over at Poppyseed. "It's nice to see you again." He said to her.

Poppyseed felt herself blush again and turned her nose away. ". . .likewise." She murmured, trying not to get caught in his gaze again.

"Good to see you." Rosebud purred, shaking his hoof too when he turned back to her and S'more.

. . .

That's all I have, sorry! This is a work in progress, but I wanted to post it so my bestie can read it ^^ you know who you aaaare~

Here are some of the best types of foliage to use in floral design for each season:

Spring: In spring, consider using delicate, fresh greenery such as ferns, asparagus ferns, and ivy. Other options include eucalyptus, willow, and flowering branches like cherry blossom, dogwood, and lilac.

Summer: Summer foliage tends to be more robust, with larger leaves and bright colors. Some good options include hosta leaves, hydrangea, coleus, and croton leaves. Grasses like feather grass, foxtail, and pampas grass are also great for adding height and movement to an arrangement.

Fall: In fall, the foliage tends to be more rustic and muted in color. Some good options include oak and maple leaves, magnolia leaves, and eucalyptus. Other options include rosehips, berry branches, and dried grasses.

Winter: Winter foliage is often more evergreen and can provide a contrast to flowers that are blooming out of season. Some good options include pine branches, cedar, holly, and boxwood. Berries and cones can also add interest and texture.

The last kettle of tomato sauce is simmering on the stove and I am beginning to pull up tomato plants. This morning I cut back the basil which had gone to seed and hope it will provide me with some new leaves. In the front of the house I cut back cleome. They will put out blooming sides shoots. I also cut back the Knock-out roses which should give me a flush of new blooms in a couple of weeks. We had some welcome rain on Friday, but we need more.

On a writing note, the third novel in my Caribbean series will go to the proofer at the end of this month. It’s been a long haul, but I’m happy with my paranormal romance set in the Caribbean. Just FYI… it’s not a bodice ripper. It should be available on Amazon sometime this fall.

The striped zinnia’s I raised from seed have only given me an orange/red and a white/pink. I’ve had a photo of the orange/red before but couldn’t resist showing it again. I will definitely save seeds from these two.

2. Joe Pye is begining to bloom. It seems to be later than in other people’s gardens, but I am just glad to have it back. Two years ago I dug most of it out. Not sure now why I did that, but at the time it seemed like a good idea. Now I’ve put back smaller plants and will have to wait for them to get to be a good size.

3. Beauty Berry is setting seeds. They will turn a vivid violet in late summer. The drought has been problematic for them and even with watering I wondered if they would set seeds.

4. Coleus and impatiens in the front window boxes are thriving. I’ve had to cut the coleus back twice or we wouldn’t be able to see out of the windows. Next year I’ll see if I can get seeds for a variety that doesn’t get so tall. I do like the color of this coleus with the Sunpatiens that tolerate the late afternoon sun of my drip irrigated window boxes.

5. This is the area (marked by flags) where my naked lady lilies should be coming up. No sign of anything yet. I saw one in a neighbor’s garden on my morning walk so I’m wondering what’s going on. I think I have to be patient — not my long suit.

6. Sedum Autumn Joy will be glorious in a month.

That’s my six for this week as we head toward fall. The meme was started by The Propogator, a UK gardener. I learn something every week from the participating gardeners. This is the link to the rules if you’d like to join in.

Safe Aviary Plants and Toxic Plants for Birds@|what plants can i put in an outdoor aviary@|@|24

Plants not only add aesthetic value to an otherwise sterile-looking enclosure, but they also provide a more natural, engaging, and secure environment for the inhabitants to enjoy. Using plants to create visual barriers within the flight may help reduce aggression among cagemates by providing objects for the birds to hide behind.5 This in turn helps to make the birds feel more secure, and may therefore result in reduced stress levels. Foliage in the cage gives the birds something to occupy themselves with–birds often chew on, play within, and even build nests out of plants placed in their living space.

For this reason, care must be taken when selecting plants to decorate a flight. Both live and fake plants may be used, but all parts of the plant must be safe and nontoxic. The best fake plants to use are constructed of untreated silk and plastic. Make sure the silk plants do not have any components that may be easy for a bird to consume, tangle itself in, get caught on, or stuck by. Treated wood baskets and paper plants may be hazardous choices and are not recommended for decorating flights. Two benefits of using silk plants are: 1) they are not as easily destroyed by the birds, and 2) they can be scrubbed clean and disinfected as needed.

[external_link_head]

Live plants tend to demand more upkeep and may need to be replaced more frequently, as finches often love to pick them apart. Try to obtain plants that have not been sprayed with any pesticides or chemicals, and be sure to rinse the plants off before placing them in and around the flight. Do not add any fertilizers to the soil (they are toxic);6 if fertilizers are already present in the soil, repot the plant with uncontaminated soil. Leaving each plant in its pot is suggested, in case a plant dies and needs to be removed.

Helpful Hints41

Placement Plantings should be spaced appropriately to allow room for flight paths and to permit the birds to access to the floor of the enclosure. Walk-in enclosures should also have planned pathways for birdkeeper access. Be careful to provide climbing vines with trellis to support the weight of their growth; otherwise they could break the aviary mesh and allow escape of the birds.

Selection Aside from ensuring that the plant(s) you have selected are non-toxic, try to avoid purchasing plants which are tall and rapidly-growing as these will require constant pruning. In addition to considering what plants are best suited for your area, don’t forget to also consider the needs of the birds. Avadavats and Munias enjoy climbing small bamboos and grasses, for example, Munias and Mannikins prefer to weave their nests into grass clumps, and Weavers need palm leaves and broad-leafed grasses for nesting material.

Timing of Live Plantings Plants should be added to the enclosure as it is being completed. The plants should be allowed to grow sufficiently before adding the birds; this way, the plants will be better able to withstand being nibbled on. Ideally plants should produce their densest foliage while the birds are nesting.

Safe Aviary Plants25,17

When choosing plants for your aviary, consult a botanist or experienced gardener who can help you select plants which are suitable for planting in your locale (considering your hardiness zone, soil type, sun exposure, etc.). Below are some options which have been listed as safe for birds.

Note: Please be aware that roses and bougainvillea have thorns.

Plants which Allow for Perching Dwarf or Hawaiian Schefflera (Schefflera arboricola) Umbrella tree/Schefflera (Brassaia actinophylla) False aralia

Toxic Plants

Plant toxicosis in birds occurs if they chew on or ingest toxic plants. The toxic reaction can be due to pesticide residues on the plants, or to toxins within the plants themselves. Birds which chew on toxic plants may develop oral irritation; if they ingest enough, systemic clinical signs can occur such as vomiting or diarrhea. There is likely significant species differences in sensitivity,16 and studies are lacking. However, plants which have been reported as toxic in some birds, or which are considered to be potentially toxic include:6,25,52,29,56,16,17,28

Avian Plant Toxicology Research

Studies of plant toxicity in finch species are greatly lacking, however a few studies were done using canaries. Unfortunately, because great variation exists among species, it is not safe to assume that plants which are non-toxic to canaries are equally safe to other birds and vice versa.

[external_link offset=2]

AUTHOR(S): Arai, M.; Stauber, E.; Shropshire, C. M. TITLE: Evaluation of selected plants for their toxic effects on canaries. YEAR: 1992 CITATION: J Am Vet Med Assoc, 200(9), +61404532026

ABSTRACT: Leaves or fruit from 14 plants considered to be toxic to pet birds were administered by gavage to 15 pairs of canaries (Serinus canaria). Each bird was given 0.12 to 0.70 g of plant material. One pair served as a control and was given distilled water. The plant materials were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, pulverized, and resuspended in deionized water for administration. Of the plants tested, 5 (

oleander, lupine, foxglove, yew leaves, and dieffenbachia) were considered highly toxic and were associated with acute death of birds. The remaining plant samples (clematis, Hoya carnosa, privet Ligustrum vulgare, parsley Petrosilium sativum, cherry Prunus sp., Pyracantha coccinia, rhododendron, black locust Robinia pseudoacacia, and wisteria) caused no, or only transient, clinical illness.

AUTHOR(S): Hargis, A. M.; Stauber, E.; Casteel, S.; Eitner, D. TITLE: Avocado (Persea americana) intoxication in caged birds. YEAR: 1989 CITATION: J Am Vet Med Assoc, 194(1), 64-66

ABSTRACT: Following two incidents in which a pet canary and three pet cockatiels died under conditions suggesting ingestion of avocado as cause of death, an experimental study was undertaken. Avocados of two cultivars were mashed and administered via feeding cannula to 8 canaries and 8 budgerigars. Two control budgerigars were given water via feeding cannula. Six budgerigars and 1 canary died within 24 to 47 hours after the first administration of avocado.

Deaths were associated with administration of both avocado cultivars. Higher dose was associated with greater mortality. The 2 budgerigars given water were normal throughout the observation period. It is concluded that avocados are highly toxic to budgerigars and less toxic to canaries. PM findings observed in some birds included subcutaneous oedema in the pectoral area and hydropericardium.

The following study was done using just budgies:

AUTHOR(S): Shropshire, C. M.; Stauber, E.; Arai, A. TITLE: Evaluation of selected plants for acute toxicosis in budgerigars. YEAR: 1992 CITATION: J Am Vet Med Assoc, 200(7), 936-939

ABSTRACT: Pairs of budgerigars were given samples, by gavage, of plants considered potentially toxic to pet birds. Samples were prepared by flash-freezing and powdering fresh plant material in liquid nitrogen and resuspending the material in deionized water for administration. Of the 19 plants tested, only 6 induced clinical signs of illness; these plants included

yew, oleander, clematis, avocado, black locust, and Virginia creeper (Taxus media, Nerium oleander, Clematis sp, Persea americana, Robinia pseudoacacia, Parthenocissus quinquefolio).

The other plants tested in this study were: bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis), privet (Ligustrum sp.), honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.), lupine (Lupinus sp.), cherry (Prunus sp.), pyracantha (Pyracantha coccinea), boxwood (Buxus sp.), dumbcane (Dieffenbachia seguine), foxglove (Digitalis sp.), spindle bush (Euonymus alatus), poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherima), rhododendron (Rhododendron sp.), and blue elderberry (Sambucus cerulea).

Note how some plants which appear well tolerated by budgies (lupine, dieffenbachia, foxglove) prove fatal to canaries, while some plants which canaries appear to tolerate (clematis, black locust) make budgies quite ill. Until more research is done, it is important to err on the side of caution and avoid any plant which may potentially be toxic. [external_footer]

Boost Your Metabolism with Green Tea, Antioxidant Foods, and Herbal Supplements

Introduction: In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy metabolism is essential for overall well-being. A well-functioning metabolism helps in burning calories efficiently, maintaining a healthy weight, and promoting optimal energy levels throughout the day. Alongside regular exercise and a balanced diet, incorporating green tea, antioxidant-rich foods, and herbal supplements into your routine can provide a natural and effective boost to your metabolism. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of these metabolism boosters and how to incorporate them into your daily lifestyle. 1. Green Tea: The Elixir of Metabolism Boosters Green tea has been revered for centuries for its numerous health benefits, and it is widely known for its metabolism-boosting properties. The secret lies in its unique composition of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG has been shown to increase thermogenesis, which encourages the body to burn calories and fat more efficiently. Additionally, green tea can help curb appetite, further supporting weight management efforts. To incorporate green tea into your routine, try enjoying a cup in the morning or mid-afternoon. Avoid excessive consumption, as the caffeine content in green tea may disrupt sleep patterns and cause restlessness. Consider opting for high-quality loose-leaf green tea for the best taste and maximum health benefits. 2. Power Up with Metabolism-Boosting Foods Alongside green tea, the following antioxidant-rich foods can supercharge your metabolism: a. Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all packed with antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. They are also rich in fiber, which aids digestion and promotes a healthy gut microbiome. b. Leafy Green Vegetables: Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are low in calories but high in nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to any metabolism-friendly meal plan. c. Spices: Incorporating spices such as cayenne pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon into your meals can give your metabolism a natural boost. These spices contain compounds that can increase thermogenesis, helping you burn calories more effectively. d. Lean Proteins: Foods like chicken breast, fish, tofu, and beans provide a good source of protein. Protein requires more energy to digest compared to carbohydrates or fats, which means your body burns more calories during the digestion process. Adding these metabolism-boosting foods to your meals can not only enhance your metabolism but also provide a wide range of other health benefits. 3. Herbal Supplements: Nature's Support for Metabolism Supplementing your diet with herbal extracts can further support your metabolism and overall well-being. Here are a few examples of herbal supplements known for their metabolism-boosting properties: a. Green Coffee Bean Extract: Derived from unroasted coffee beans, this supplement contains a high concentration of chlorogenic acid. Studies have shown that chlorogenic acid can enhance metabolism and promote greater fat utilization. b. Cayenne Pepper Extract: Capsaicin, the active compound in cayenne pepper, has been found to increase thermogenesis and help suppress appetite. Incorporating cayenne pepper extract into your routine can support weight management efforts. c. Forskolin Extract: Obtained from the root of the Coleus forskohlii plant, forskolin extract has been shown to stimulate the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cells. Increased cAMP levels can boost metabolism and promote the breakdown of stored fat. When considering herbal supplements, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Conclusion: Boosting your metabolism naturally is achievable by incorporating green tea, antioxidant-rich foods, and herbal supplements into your daily routine. Green tea's thermogenic properties, along with the inclusion of metabolism-boosting foods, provide a solid foundation. Additionally, herbal supplements such as green coffee bean extract, cayenne pepper extract, and forskolin extract can further enhance your metabolism. Remember, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, including regular exercise and a nutritious diet, is key to reaping the full benefits of these metabolism boosters. Tags suitable for WordPress: 1.
