"If you give a chimp a #crystal, she might not return it.
Researchers gave quartz, calcite & other crystals to captive #chimps. They were very interested & the researchers had to trade #bananas & #yogurt to get the largest crystals back. Others never turned up."

An Irish man held by ICE for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.

Here's a picture of an American robin:
