A rare yellow parrot was given the plain, ordinary name "Butter."
The History of Song records that in the seventh month of Jianlong, Year 2, Longzhou presented a yellow parrot to the court. At the time, most parrots had green feathers and red beaks, and yellow plumage was an extremely rare mutation.
Longzhou took it as an auspicious sign and offered it as tribute.
