Dear @asha_shar, as you take over as @xbox CEO today, Pls be informed that Phil passed in everything but failed me with killer instinct. If you want to succeed as Xbox CEO, Make a Next Gen @KillerInstinct Game. That is all we ask of u. #KillerInstinct@IGN@GameSpot
A historic partnership for birds and people. ✨🤝
The @WorldBank and BirdLife International have joined forces to scale up conservation across the African-Eurasian Flyway, one of the planet’s great migratory routes, connecting Africa, Europe and Asia. 🌍
Stretching from the Arctic tundra to southern Africa, this flyway supports more than 2 billion migratory birds. 🐦 Along the route, critical sites, such as Lake Natron, provide important nesting and feeding grounds, as well as economic and cultural value to countless communities.
BirdLife International is uniquely positioned to ensure the long-term success and impact of this initiative, as CEO Martin Harper states, “In the African-Eurasian Flyway, we’ve built a strategic network of more than 50 national partners implementing integrated conservation measures for nature, birds and people.” 🌿
And the World Bank’s Juergen Voegele adds, “…with the right design, infrastructure investments can be made both efficient and reliable, as well as bird-friendly. These win-win options are at the core of the African-Eurasian Flyway Initiative. Working with BirdLife and our clients, the Bank will support development that is good for both people and nature.”
This new partnership will mirror the work of BirdLife’s Global Flyways programme and initiatives, which drive the conservation and restoration needed to ensure the flourishing of life across the world’s vital migratory pathways. 💙

Which birds are multi-coloured, intelligent, and chatter a lot? 🎨🦜
Parrots, like this Gang-gang Cockatoo, are found on nearly every continent, from the coastal regions of Australia to the rainforests of South America. 🌳🌎
But these magnificent parrots are one of the most threatened groups of birds on Earth.
They are vanishing before our very eyes, facing threats from agriculture, hunting, trapping and logging.🪵
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Now is time to act and help save these birds known for their unique mimicry and ability to form deep bonds.

After logging brought down the nests of two young Harpy Eagles in Bolivia, dedicated conservationists spent years preparing the majestic birds for a return to the wild. Read their story: https://t.co/ifHGK1fEyN
Birds-of-paradise are even more extraordinary than we thought! ✨
Renowned for their dazzling plumage, researchers have now discovered that many of these birds are biofluorescent! 🔬💚
Their feathers and other body parts absorb UV or blue light and emit it at lower frequencies, enriching their colours in ways beyond human perception.
This process likely enhances their elaborate courtship displays 💃🕺, making these performances even more mesmerising to potential mates.
