History and Culture

Over the course of many centuries birds have often been in close association with humans - these bird species crop up in folklore and sayings often preserved in a talismanic way. In medieval times country folk viewed some species with superstition and even fear.

Some species carry the names of people from long ago. Those people having been considered worthy of the honour of having a species named after them. For example:
Many species are named after the person who first described them whereas other species are named because of their appearance or from their songs and calls.
It is clear that human beings have been intrigued by the natural world for thousands of years. And birds are one of the easiest life forms to study because they are relatively easy to see.
