"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Upopa epops: Hoopoe
Found in Europe and Asia, this funny bird has a funky crest. I read somewhere that it only displays its crest when it's landing, but I don't know if that was an accurate account.
