Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER Poisonous Frogs Used to Change Color of Parrots Certain frogs produce a deadly secretion from their glands which primitive natives in Brazil use for poisoning the tips of their arrows. The poison extracted from the frogs, which are bright scarlet in color, is also used for the purpose of dyeing the feathers of green Amazon parrots. The green feathers of the bird are plucked out and the skin is rubbed with a living frog. As a consequence the new feathers when they appear are bright yellow instead of green, which enhances the value of the bird in the eyes of the natives.
