There are dick versions of every category. We just have to try not to judge a whole group based on a few vocal people.

Most vegans I know do eat sugar, even if some of it is processed with a bone char filter - it is just about reducing your impact.

Looks like Allen's Hummingbirds, so California or Mexico, possibly Arizona.

Australian magpies are a different family. Their beak shape/pattern is different and they don't have all grey back + belly like that.

Awesome! Can't help it though for #3, tigers and malayan tapirs live on different continents than toucans and sloths.

Yeah kinda gross, and it wrecks their feathers if it gets on them. It's thick so really easy to choke on too. The nestlings like it though.

There is a special formula for rehab birds that can't forage, but it must be handfed and is dangerous if the person is not trained properly.

No, luckily they find all the supplements they need in the wild. Having a friendly garden is the best way to help them with this.

Such a fast metabolism, they actually need to eat a lot, nectar for calories and insects for protein.

They can't survive off that, they will die of protein deficiency.

Young hummingbirds in rehab have to be fed every 15min sunrise to sunset. It's a lot of work. And they can't survive off just sugar water.

...the most parsimonious [most likely] interpretation of the phylogenetic position of Graecopithecus is that it is a hominin"

"Graecopithecus is a stemhominine (last common ancestor of African apes and Homo), a gorillin, a panin, or a hominin

That isn't what the paper claims. It suggests this is an early hominin, not the direct ancestor between chimps and humans.

As far as the negative impacts of plant crops... true, but what do you think livestock eat?

It isn't about living "100% cruelty free", of course that is impossible. It is just trying to reduce your own impact.
