Nope, birds have almost no sense of taste,
They only have 20 to 30 taste buds on their tongue, so they can't distinguish chocolate from pretty much anything else.
By comparison, humans have something like 9 or 10 thousand and new ones grow every 5 days.
Chocolate is also toxic and a small amount will kill birds.One Smartie is enough to kill a small song bird.
It is also toxic to us, but a lethal dose is quite high.
About 22 pounds is a lethal dose for a human

I can't believe you got it so quick. I heard it on the news this a.m. My son was wanting to choke me when I told it to him. He thought it was sick. I thought it was funny:D

As for yours above, I have racked my brain, my husbands and even the Internet. I couldnt come up with anything.:mad:

Heard it a while back.
I think it's funny, too.

As for the skin, Cameron gets the answers from source quite often, the program QI, Quite Interesting.
It does shed continually, but it takes about a month for a 100% change, bit by bit.

The skin is the largest organ in the body.
In a single square inch of skin there are 20 feet of blood vessels. 1,300 nerve cells, and a hundred sweat glands.
We lose about 50,000 skin cells a second.
You'll get through at least 900 skins in a lifetime.
