editUK bird flu restrictions
editWith recent events in the UK and the new biosecurity restrictions, does this mean that I should stop flying my pet parrot outside (always on leash) and keep her inside for the present time? Or does this not apply to parrots? I might email the govt for clarification myself, but does anyone know? I don't even know if the goffin is susceptible to avian flu. --Iloveparrots (talk) 00:55, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- You should read the latest from GOV.UK, and decide for yourself:
- "Bird flu - Latest situation: Avian influenza prevention zone declared across Great Britain". GOV.UK. 3 November 2021. --107.15.157.44 (talk) 02:03, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- See also "Is my pet bird at risk from avian flu?". --Lambiam 12:30, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
Mohs hardness for iodine
editIs there a reported value? --- Sandbh (talk) 03:18, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- It's really hard to find, but I dug it up in this CRC Handbook. Page 713-714 contains "Physical Properties of Iodine", and has a reported Mohs hardness of 2. --Jayron32 12:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
