Yes, like all mammals, mice can taste the capsaicin and it’ll burn.
On a side note i have pet parrots and they have no receptors to register the capsaicin so those fuckers will sit there eating raw jalapeño and little red Thai peppers like it’s candy, they love the seeds. Then they come over later and give me spicy kisses

Dogs and cats can definitely perceive spiciness from capsaicin. Are you maybe thinking about birds? They cannot.

No, just getting lied to by Alexa is all.

If my dog eats something too spicy he will continue to lick around his mouth for hours

Pro tip, don’t ask AI abou anything factual since it just makes something up that it wants you to hear. There are thousands of resources available to you on numerous search engines that can tell you the information you want to know.

Yes, but to be fair, TIL Alexa answers are AI, I didn’t know that before.

All I’m thinking about now is a bird perching on a line with a constant stream of explosive diarrhea, and it’s one of the funniest images I’ve ever conceived.
