Urubus urbanos
Por mais curioso que pareça, é cada vez mais comum olhar para o alto de casas e prédios em ambientes urbanos e deparar-se com urubus acomodados nos telhados. Essas aves, frequentemente interpretadas como sinal de mau agouro, desempenham uma função ecológica nesse contexto urbano.
A primeira questão que deve ficar clara é que se deve evitar pensamentos supersticiosos em relação aos urubus. Ter um urubu sobre o telhado de sua casa não significa mau agouro, mas sim que provavelmente há algum tipo de carcaça nas proximidades.
Devido à sua natureza necrófaga, alimentando-se de materiais em decomposição, os urubus exercem uma função específica no ecossistema urbano. O aumento na produção de lixo nas grandes cidades se torna um dos principais atrativos para essas aves.
A partir da observação do crescimento da quantidade de urubus presentes nas grandes cidades, constata-se que essas aves se adaptaram ao ambiente urbano. O fenômeno começou há pouco mais de uma década, com o número de urubus nas cidades aumentando progressivamente. Até certo momento, os moradores mal percebiam esse aumento; as pessoas achavam curioso quando viam um urubu pousado no telhado do vizinho.
À medida que essas aves foram se tornando mais à vontade, os moradores passaram a se assustar. Trata-se de um animal com um bico curvo e afiado, pronto para o ataque. Contudo, a questão é que devemos entender que o planeta pertence a todas as espécies vivas que o habitam. Dessa forma, não temos o direito de questionar a presença dos urubus, apenas pensar em soluções que tornem a convivência mais tranquila.

“The world seems to want us to be sad and angry because bad things frequently happen. But I say we should feel the opposite. We should be happy and cheerful because good things happen. We should be delighted to see the sun rise and stars glow and rainbows color stormy skies. We should savor every simple breath and eat each meal with gratitude. We should slumber in sweet dreams and relish moments of laughter and love. We should take more notice of the joys and kindnesses that do exist, still dictating the actions of millions of good people all over the world. Life is filled with pleasant moments, not just grief. We should be happy because this is true.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

“The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you're sensible, you'll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status.”
―Carl Sagan

US President Joe Biden has said he is
considering a request from Australia to drop
the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange.
The country's parliament recently passed a measure - backed by PM Anthony Albanese - calling for the return of Mr Assange to his native Australia. The US wants to extradite the 52-yearold from the UK on criminal charges over the leaking of military records. Mr Assange denies the charges, saying the leaks were an act of journalism. The president was asked about Australia's request on Wednesday and said: "We're considering it." Mr Albanese said Mr Biden's comments were "encouraging" and he was "increasingly optimistic about an outcome". "We want Mr Assange to be able to return home," he told Sky News Australia.
The Australian measure passed parliament in February. At the time, Mr Albanese told MPs: "People will have a range of views about Mr Assange's conduct... But regardless of where people stand, this thing cannot just go on and on and on indefinitely." Mr Assange is fighting extradition in the UK courts. The extradition was put on hold in March after London's High Court said the United States must provide assurances he would not face the death penalty. The High Court is due to evaluate any responses from the US authorities at the end of May.
