A pampered parrot named Mona just celebrated her 17th “hatch day,” and her owner positively showered her with presents! Sara, who often posts about her beloved bird on social media, shared the sweetest video from the special occasion. In her clip, she brought the parrot a decorative bag full of hatch day gifts. Mona was so excited when she saw what was inside! As Sara started pulling toys out of the bag, the bird began to squawk with joy. First, the woman took out a large board with tons of colorful blocks and pieces of string on it. Immediately, Mona began nibbling on one of the knots with interest. However, she forgot all about it when Sara removed the next item: a smaller but equally desirable toy. @monathemacaw Mona is 17 today. ♬ Ghibli-style nostalgic waltz – MaSssuguMusic “Mona loves smaller toys so we get her a little bit of both,” Sara wrote in her video. As thrilled as Mona already was, the best was still yet to come. At the bottom of the gift bag, there were tons of teeny rubber duckies. When this parrot saw how many of these cute little figures she was getting for her hatch day, she couldn’t contain her excitement! She dove right into the bag and started rummaging through her new toys. All in all, it seems like this parrot had a pretty awesome hatch day! This precious video has received over a million views. Commenters thought that Mona’s reaction to her new toys was positively adorable! “I have never seen a bird so excited before, it’s genuinely fascinating how she understands they are gifts for her,” one user wrote. Of course, as all pet parents already know, animals will usually find the most random object in the house to play with instead of their toys. In Mona’s case, she got hold of an empty paper towel roll a couple of weeks after her birthday video and had a blast! @monathemacaw ♬ original sound – Sara and Mona Well, it’s the thought that counts in the end. We’re sure both Sara and Mona had a great time celebrating the parrot’s hatch day together! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Prehistoric medical news from the Cave of Pigeons.

The private American company “PolygenX” conducts genetic testing on human embryos for a fee of $50,000, selecting those with the potential for the highest intelligence. Their clients are women undergoing IVF (in vitro fertilization), a procedure that typically involves fertilizing several eggs at once and then choosing the most viable ones for implantation into the uterus. PolygenX offers expectant mothers the option of genetic testing for these embryos before transplantation, promising that their experts can identify those that are likely to result in children with high IQs. The company has already garnered support from pronatalist advocates—those who encourage higher birth rates—as well as billionaire Elon Musk, who recently commented on how declining birth rates could lead to societal collapse. Founded in Wyoming in 2022 by Jonathan Anomaly, a former philosophy professor and outspoken advocate of eugenics, PolygenX quickly faced criticism for its “controversial eugenics practices” and accusations of racism. While most developed countries prohibit genetic tests for traits like intelligence, height, and sex in embryos, the United States has comparatively lenient regulations in this area. Besides screening for potential intelligence, PolygenX also examines embryos for risks of ADHD, bipolar disorder, and various types of cancer. PolygenX claims that intelligence is up to 80 per cent genetically determined but most researchers suggest that upbringing plays a far larger role. In reality, there is no specific gene which is associated with intelligence which makes it almost impossible to select genetically for these traits.

Of all the tragedies that might befall a medieval settlement, an ale shortage feels like a pretty minor concern. And yet, in Manor Lords, the superlative strategy game and city builder from Hooded Horse and Greg ‘Slavic Magic’ Styczeń, failure to properly manage your booze supply can, and will, plunge your township into chaos.

But Manor Lords goes right into the details - you’re responsible for meeting the basic, everyday needs of a handful of settlers. Water and ale production have been a running sore since Manor Lords first hit Steam back in April, but now, in response to fans, Slavic Magic teases a possible remedy, as well as a wonderful-looking new map.

2024 has been a turbulent year for League of Legends. On the plus side, the game’s balance is the best it’s been in years (unless you're an ADC), fewer champion releases means there’s been less chaos, and a renewed focus on correcting older lore has made everything feel more cohesive. There are flickers of light at the end of what’s felt like a winding, confusing tunnel, but with those highs have come with some serious lows. The shuttering of Riot Forge, two rounds of layoffs, botting issues with Worlds tickets; for every win, it feels like there’s been a pretty ugly loss.
