Can birds read?

I was very amused when I went to open a packed of dried mealworms for the blackbirds and robins. It had the usual blurb of keeping it away from children. wasn't edible etc etc - and at the bottom it said "May Contain Nuts" . So?!

We weren’t exposed to large quantities of whatever it is that sends people into shock.
That’s my theory.
Other triggers for anaphylactic shock will have other reasons. I remember a boy at school suddenly upped and died after eating an egg in a sandwich. He hadn’t been allergic to eggs until that moment.
He wasn’t the only one suffering from shock that day.
On world aids day one of our chaps makes and sells crepes and there was a contraband jar of Nute!!a under the sink in the kitchen! 🤣
A lot of people just do not understand how deadly serious an anaphylactic reaction can be to what seems like a very small trigger.
I had the wit to talk to the person in question rather than Dr Google and we were able to take down the rather hysterical "big red signs" that she had plastered everywhere and come to a more sensible and less embarrassing (for him) arrangement.
The poor chap was mortified!
My niece's primary school was a totally "nut free zone" (apart from her of course) as one of the children was severely allergic. Clearly someone had bothered to check their facts and act accordingly.
it it is amazing tho, the way some people will find a way to circumvent the necessary anti-nut measures ... I once had to explain ‘very clearly’ to someone that anaphylaxis wasn’t a “mainly psychosomatic condition and that a little of what they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them”. 😫
