want one? 

WELL usually the Romans only considered certain birds indicative of a sign from the gods- birds of prey, mostly eagles, including vultures, ospreys, owls, and separately corvids (not counting the sacred chickens, there are some exceptions, etc)HOWEVER since parakeets are Australian using Roman Rules it could be seen as an unfavorable prodigy indicative of divine displeasure since they of course they should never have been in Rome (some parrots called parakeets are South American but the point stands). If you want to take them as a bird of omen anyway because we Aren’t in Rome the omens are still… not good because birds approaching from the left are usually favorable and from the right well… If I remember correctly Livy says Remus saw six vultures in formation when he took the auspices to determine who would rule Rome- and well that didn’t end well either

ask me stuff

actually thought about this lol

...And do we count that time when Clodia POISONED Celer? (No, I’m not serious.)

i would literally give up an organ to be in foro

   during napoléon and joséphine’s wedding night ,  napoléon ,  hoe 4 joséphine that he was ,   wanted to shag his new wife   -   but then he discovered fortuné ,  joséphine’s pug ,  was already sleeping at her feet .   napoléon didn’t appreciate having to share josie with the dog so he told her either fortuné or he would leave the bed  ; ; ; ;    this isnt everything tho , ,   i think he was undressing or smth in the dark of the night and FORTUNÉ BIT IN HIS ANKLE  ,   and REALLY hard  -  later napoléon would say he still had a scar from fortuné there .
