and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger

and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!

yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!

One of russian insults towards Ukrainians is using the Ukrainian word for "independent" as a descriptor, but like an insult.

.

Occasionally, I notice that some westerners think THEY know russians BETTER than Ukrainians who have been forced to neighbour russians for BASICALLY FOREVER. A lot of the more subtle things can be untranslatable or hold many small intercultural references, political memes even, or hints at previous events.

People outside of the bubble, who never had to tolerate russian internet spaces, can easily underestimate just how essential this survival for Ukrainians is.

Ukrainians also have russian relatives, used to have russian friends, and other long-lasting bonds that have been tested repeatedly throughout YEARS.

It's not like russians decided to invade Ukraine out of nowhere. People overlook the fact that Ukrainians have been resisting russian influences and fighting for just. basically living.
