World Parrot Day
Zoodefenders and wildlife lovers in many countries around the world can join the celebration of World Parrot Day. According to ornithologists, there are currently about 370 species of parrots in the world, which are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Due to the destruction of ecosystems inhabited by parrots and poaching, some species of these birds are on the verge of extinction.
Several years ago, blue macaw parrots became completely extinct in the wild.
By weight, parrots are divided into three types: large - up to 1 meter in height; medium - weighing 100 grams; small - weighing 30 grams.
Only a few species of parrots are able to imitate human speech. For example, cockatoos can memorize up to 40 words and several sentences. Lorries are distinguished by their ability to reproduce 50 words and several sentences. And some budgerigars can repeat about 100 words, but rarely speak in sentences.

Day of Publishing, Printing and Book Distribution Workers in Ukraine
In May 1999, the then President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, "taking into account the significant contribution of workers of the publishing and printing complex to the revival of the spirituality of the people, the development of science, culture, education, all spheres of society", established a professional holiday in Ukraine - Day of Publishing, Printing and Book Distribution Workers in Ukraine, which is celebrated annually on the last Saturday of May.
Printing presses appeared in Ukraine as early as the 15th century, so printing has its own long history. The Ostroh Bible, published in 1581, was a work of book art. This book became a kind of canon, according to which religious books were published not only in Ukraine, but also in neighboring European countries.
