The solution is actually to become a bird, as their tongues do not perceive that sort of spice.

Depends on why it's spicy, if it's from red peppers that's capsicin which birds can't sense, but if it's from any of the other spice compounds many can. As an example, the spice reaction to radishes is the same in avians. Black pepper is a more mild reaction but they still can detect it.

But if they can confirm that it doesn't do anything, that means they tried it out before. And if not, who knows if it actually doesn't do anything? Somebody should do some science and sprinkle baking soda on their spicy food uwu
