Common corncockle

<em>Agrostemma githago</em>, commonly known as common corncockle, is an annual flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. Once a widespread weed of cereal crops across Europe, Asia, and beyond, this species is now Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to the dramatic decline caused by modern agricultural practices, particularly improved grain cleaning and herbicide use. Corncockle is a tall, slender plant covered in silky white hairs, bearing large, solitary pink to purple flowers with distinctive dark veining. Its seeds contain toxic saponin compounds called githagins, which historically contaminated grain supplies. The species now survives primarily in wildflower conservation areas, seed banks, and traditional farmland conservation schemes. It typically grows in open, disturbed arable soils with full sun exposure. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

キエリボタンインコ

キエリコザクラインコ（Agapornis personatus）はタンザニア北部の内陸乾燥地域に分布が限られる小型のオウムで、鮮やかな黄色の首輪と紫がかった青色の額が特徴です。群れを成してサバンナの低木林に生息し、ペットとして世界的に人気があるため、逃げ出した個体が各地に定着しています。IUCNレッドリストで軽度懸念（LC）に分類されています。
