Birds of Prey : A gripping historical adventure set in Roman Britain
‘The Britons are like the red kite and hunt what they can… but we are the Empire’s eagles that take what we want.’It has been twelve years since Faustus Valerianus first arrived in Britain, a centurion in the conquering Roman army.Many battles have been won, many allegiances gained.But those victories hide a more complex truth. In West Britain, the powerful Silures led by King Loarn plot their rebellion, fighting back against the now diminished strength of their Roman occupiers.Faustus, whose mother was born to this tribe, finds himself trapped between loyalty to the army and compassion for his mother’s people. With a fragile peace on a knife edge, the smallest spark could incite chaos. And a sudden, terrible tragedy that rocks Faustus and his family, fracturing the relationship between him and his sister Silvia, promises to be that very moment. With a great, final conflict on the horizon, and with Silvia potentially the key to it all, Faustus must not only come to terms with the realities of his position, as soldier and head of the family, but lay the demons that haunt him to rest if he is to ever achieve his own peace. But what peace is even possible, for a bird of prey?A beautifully presented Ancient Roman epic of familial strife, ruthless battles and fierce love, perfect for fans of Manda Scott, Rosemary Sutcliff and Bernard Cornwell.

Birds in Roman Life and Myth
This book explores the place of birds in Roman myth and everyday life, focusing primarily on the transitional period of 100 BCE to 100 CE within the Italian peninsula. A diverse range of topics is considered in order to build a broad overview of the subject.Beginning with an appraisal of omens, augury, and auspices – including the ‘sacred chickens’ consulted by generals before battle – it goes on to examine how Romans farmed birds, hunted them, and kept them as pets.It demonstrates how the ownership and consumption of birds were used to communicate status and prestige, and how bird consumption mirrored wider economic and social trends.Each topic adopts an interdisciplinary approach, considering literary evidence alongside art, material culture, zooarchaeology, and modern ornithological knowledge.The inclusion of zooarchaeology adds another dimension to the work and highlights the value of using animals and faunal remains to interpret the past. Studying the Roman view of birds offers great insight into how they conceived of their relationship with the gods and how they stratified and organised their society.This book is a valuable resource for bird lovers and researchers alike, particularly those studying animals in the ancient world.

A Historical Taxonomy of Talking Birds in Chinese Literature
Parrots and mynahs have played a unique role in Chinese literature for two millennia.These birds that can talk and interact intelligently with their owners were treasured as pets both in the palace and in private homes.The caged birds were pitied for their homesickness but praised for their eagerness to serve.Over time they developed into exemplars of Confucian values such as filial piety and loyalty, and they also featured prominently in tales of love and war.Closely associated with Buddhism from early on, the parrot proved itself an effective preacher of the Dharma and became the favorite bird of the bodhisattva Guanyin. In this wide-ranging thematic study, Wilt L. Idema traces the development of the parrot and the mynah as characters in many forms of poetry and prose of Chinese elite literature, as well as in the long narrative ballads of traditional popular literature. The book provides complete renditions of Mi Heng’s (173–198) Rhapsody on the Parrot, the anonymous Tale of the Parrot’s Filial Piety of the fifteenth century, and the anonymous Precious Scroll of the Parrot of late-imperial times.An epilogue discusses the disappearance of the parrot in modern Chinese literature.

Are budgerigars sedentary birds, migratory birds, or nomadic birds?
Budgerigars are considered nomadic birds. They are known to move in search of food and water, and their movements are often influenced by changes in weather and resource availability. While they do not have a set migration pattern like some bird species, they are not sedentary and can cover large distances in search of suitable habitats.

If birds are behind birds.
It is unclear what is meant by "birds are behind birds" without further context. It could refer to birds following other birds in a flock, birds being positioned one after the other in a line, or birds being hidden or obscured by other birds. The interpretation would depend on the specific situation or scenario being described.
-
Can birds swim?
No, birds cannot swim in the traditional sense. While some birds, such as ducks and swans, are adapted to float on water and can paddle with their feet, they do not swim in the same way that fish or other aquatic animals do. Birds are not built for underwater propulsion and rely on their buoyancy and paddling to stay afloat.
-
Can birds cry?
No, birds cannot cry in the same way that humans do. Birds do not have tear ducts like humans, so they are not able to produce tears to express emotion. However, birds can still exhibit signs of distress or sadness through their vocalizations and body language. So while they may not cry in the same way as humans, they can still communicate their emotions in other ways.

Can birds pee?
Birds do not have a separate urinary system like mammals do, so they do not pee in the same way. Instead, birds excrete waste in the form of uric acid, which is combined with their feces and expelled together. This mixture is often seen as a white, chalky substance. So, while birds do not pee in the traditional sense, they do excrete waste through a different process.
-
Can birds think?
Birds have complex cognitive abilities and are capable of problem-solving, learning from experience, and using tools. They can exhibit behaviors that suggest they are capable of thinking, such as planning for the future, recognizing themselves in a mirror, and even displaying empathy towards others. While their brains are structured differently from mammals, birds have shown impressive cognitive skills that indicate they are capable of some form of thinking.
-
Can birds spit?
No, birds do not have the ability to spit like humans do. Birds do not have salivary glands in their mouths like mammals do, so they do not produce saliva in the same way. Instead, birds have a specialized gland called the uropygial gland near the base of their tail that produces an oily substance used for preening and waterproofing their feathers.
-
Are birds nocturnal?
No, birds are not typically nocturnal. Most birds are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day and rest at night. However, there are some exceptions, such as owls, nighthawks, and nightjars, which are known to be nocturnal or crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk). These birds have adapted to hunt or forage for food during the night when their prey is most active.
