Oh, cheeky me left out another alternative for both cases, which brings us right to the origin of these sayings: the devil. Yes, Germans were a particularly supersticious breed in the days of old, and would not dare to use the word devil even when cursing. The eagle-owls of the genus Bubo are all called “Uhu“.

The story of the White-winged Guan , in some ways resembles the re-discovery of some species thought to be extinct. A large and striking bird like this would be hard to neglect in a museum collection. The decades of storage in a museum came after it was regarded as an extinct species. The Guan was declared extinct.

Thirdly, many species of shorebirds display such vast differences in their summer and winter plumages that it is always interesting to note how some birds in the same flock are in contrasting stages of plumage.

I neglected to take the camera into the courtyard in the beginning, though I did bring the hounds and their beds. You are choosing domination and enslavement and forced breeding and unnecessary slaughter. It's about not fetishizing one species while making an industry of torturing others. You are choosing violence.
