In the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, X were infrequently documented in Indonesia's bird
markets, with only single digit number of X detected every survey. However, their appeal as
pets has grown with the debut of the Y in Indonesia in the early 2000s.
During this time, popular species have become less expensive, while rarer species have
become more expensive. The X are mostly, if not entirely, taken from the wild and marketed
as pets in the United States.
The overall popularity of X as pets in Indonesia has grown to the point where it may
jeopardise the conservation of some of the less abundant species.
Similar effect has been observed with the debut of Jurassic Park, 101 Dalmations and most
evidently Finding Nemo.
ID X and Y.

The oldest known evidence of such tool was found in China and ancient Egypt.
Although the one used by a person on a table may have originated in Ancient Greece,
it was most likely created in the Byzantine Empire, where it was widely used by the
4th century.
To the fury of local clerics, who said that God designed fingers for eating, the first
such tool arrived in Venice during the 11th century.
Because of historical ties with Byzantine, it became increasingly popular in X before
other European regions in the 11th century, and as Y became a larger part of the X
diet, it continued to gain popularity, because it proved better suited to gathering the
dish Y.
Give X, Y and the tool.

In 1932, after Y’s infamous deed, he moved to Paris. Y and his wife successfully sued MGM,
an American film corporation, for defamation and privacy violations in connection with a
film based on the life of X. The claimed infringement was not that the character based on Y
had committed murder, but that the character based on his wife was portrayed as having
been seduced by X. They were given £25,000 in damages in 1934, a huge figure at the time.
As a result of the legal precedent established by this case, the disclaimer that currently
appears at the conclusion of many American films, "The preceding was a work of fiction,
any relation to a live person..." first appeared.
A well-known song that resurfaced during lockdown, depicts X as a fascinating individual
who is desired by all women.
Name X.

legendary character of X in a blockbuster film
franchise. In the set photographs, he can be seen
crouching down to attain to the proper height for X.
X is greyish-green, short but wise and arguably one
of the most powerful in the entire film franchise.

The notion of employing calcium oxide to create light was initially developed in the
1820s. The first scientist to employ this effect watched Faraday's demonstration of
the principle and recognized that it could be used for observation.
He created a functional model, which has since been used in both outdoor events
and interior theatre performances. It can be considered a forerunner to the one
presently used to focus a single artist in a group.
This way of creating light has now been replaced by electric methods, although the
name connected with light is still used today. Provide the word.

While grading papers on a hot summer day in the 1920s at Oxford, X wrote the
opening line of his genre defining work. He got completely engrossed in the writing
process and eventually an unfinished copy fell into the hands of a publisher who
gave it his son Rayner to review. Young Rayner was blown away by the sheer
brilliance of X’s storytelling. Finally when it was published it became a huge hit.
Rayner and his father prompted X to write a sequel, which X did - in three parts -
and it took him a decade to do so. At one point, it got so popular that a cult
developed around it, with people hosting cult-parties where they read it while being
high on LSD, some even bothered X by calling his home to ask him the main
character succeeded in his quest. ID X and his work.

make a wellness check on X.
Upon reaching the house, the police were able to save X, all thanks to her daily
updates about Y.
