Today is #WorldParrotDay! Parrots are very intelligent birds & have complex social lives. This parrot is a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo which can be found in Papa New Guinea. They can live up to 40 years in the wild but pet cockatoos have been known to live for more than double that!

I'm working on experiences of women labelled ‘mad’ in the past, and wondered whether anyone might have stories, however anecdotal, of relatives who were cared for at home or put in asylums before the 1950s? Please retweet, and contact me via my website if you can help. Thanks!
