Alas, the phrase ânew normalâ carries more ominous weight in other parts of the legal world. Major law firms trimmed staff in the wake of the recession, and starting salaries at big law firms in New York and elsewhere have largely stagnated and continue to hover around $160,000, or less.Things are worse yet in the world of do-gooding lawyers.las, the phrase ânew normalâ carries more ominous weight in other parts of the legal world.

Pygmy parrots, as their name suggests, are the smallest members of the parrot family and are even smaller than budgerigars. There are six species which are found in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. Unusually for birds, pygmy parrots eat a lot of lichen and fungus as well as some seeds, fruit and insects.
Parrots are often called hookbills, which is an avicultural term based on the shape of the beak or bill. This distinguishes parrots from softbills and other birds, such as doves and finches.The function of the parrot beak is for climbing, as well as manipulating and crushing objects.n other birds, the upper beak is fused to the skull and does not move. Under the keratin covering, the beak has an excellent blood supply and a network of nerve endings, which provide parrots an amazing tactile sensory ability. The most sensitive area is at the tip of the upper beak (Figure 4 in slideshow).
