And now, researchers from Japan, Germany and Sweden confirmed what I knew all the time, like if I needed them to tell me so.

This would have allowed you to summarize your experience in sentences such as “A total of 98 boluses regurgitated by 52 chicks aged 1 day to 11 days after hatching form the sample and are shown to contain 323 food items.” Where it is not – for example, in Japan – it will have difficulties finding a partner to mate.

According to Reuters: Japan, which considers whaling to be a cherished cultural tradition, killed 679 minke whales despite plans to catch around 850. He speaks of the "mixed message of the animal rights community" that animals are so much like us, yet not enough like us to experiment on. And I'm sure they see it as an attack.

Interestingly, a bird of prey set off a psychological experiment. Case in point: former emperor of Japan, His Majesty Akihito, is an avid birder. The ponds were full of birds as usual with abundant Common Snipe as well as Ruff , some Dunlin , Stilts and a few ducks, including Red-crested Pochards. Could it be? He is always smiling.

No, I think that covers it.
