Before choosing violence, flare those ear feathers to let rivals know you've had enough. Lesser Violetear 🪶 San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica
A small iridescent green bird with bright violet feathers near the ears. The violet feathers are flared out from the side of the head. The bird is perched on a bare branch and there is greenery and flowers out of focus in the background.

Kui Eesti200 selline plaan on, siis see on üks tõeliselt pöörane plaan. Kulude kokkuhoidu ja lisapanust riigikaitsesse tasub otsida valdkondadest, mis on võrreldes majandusega ebaproportsionaalselt kasvanud, mitte neist, mis semudele tülikad.

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

Põlised niidud (sellised nagu Eesti pärandniidud - puisniidud, aruniidud, loopealsed), kus suur liigirikkus on pika aja jooksul saanud kujuneda, on tolmeldajatele üliolulised. Värske töö näitab, et muuhulgas mängivad nad suurt rolli ka tolmeldajate tervise toetamisel. #pärandniidud #hoiamidaarmastad

Üsna täpne kokkuvõte, mis juhtus kliimakonverentsi #COP29 viimastel tundidel. Teemaks arengumaade kliimarahastus. Valikus oli kokkulepe 300 miljardi euroga aastas või no deal. Seda viimast ei tahtnud keegi peale naftariikide, esimesega olid ka rahul vähesed, kuid vähemalt samm edasi.
