University of Adelaide
About University of Adelaide
The University of Adelaide was a public research university based in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia. Its main campus in the Adelaide city centre includes many sandstone buildings of historical and architectural significance, such as Bonython Hall. Its royal charter awarded by Queen Victoria in 1881 allowed it to become the second university in the English-speaking world to confer degrees to women. On 5 January 2026, it merged with the neighbouring University of South Australia to form Adelaide University. The antecedent institutions were formally disestablished after 31 March 2026, when both the University of Adelaide Act 1971 and University of South Australia Act 1990 were repealed.

You can catch it from dead parrots. This came from a study at the University of Adelaide and the University of the Sunshine Coast, by Annalise Chaber et al. They've described sometimes when people have been dissecting parrots and then got pneumonia a little bit later, and then they checked their bodies and found that they actually caught it from the parrots when they were dead already.
