If stress causes heat increase in chilies, I got a poblano yesterday
that needed some serious therapy. I was chopping away (and, of course,
have to taste while I chop) and popped a chunk of poblano in my
mouth.....Wham! We're talking high end jalapeno type heat. Not that
that's a bad thing, but it sure was a surprise!
Anyone else out there ever get a "zinger"?

Not poblanos, but I've gotten horribly hot jalapenos during drought
conditions.

I gave most of those to the cockatoo.

She loves hot stuff, then loves to play kissy with a pepper stained beak!

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "hot lips".

I'll bet!!! And that's why pepper spray won't keep birds from eating a
garden....they have no receptors for capsaicin.

It's an excellent source of vitamin C for parrots, and does not attract
as many fruit flies as citrus does. :-)

Capsaicin supposedly will work for squirrels tho', and without driving
off your wild birds for the very reason you just mentioned!

Cayanne in the bird feeders as a squirrel repellant is rumored to help,
but I've not tried it yet.

Anyone???

I've encountered a few hot ones over time. Happened one time when a less
heat tolerant friend and I were having dinner. We simply swapped plates.
