Ibis

Whence they come, or whither they go, has never yet been ascertained, as in fact they are never to be seen but when the people stand in need of their aid.

The Egyptians also invoke their Ibis against the incursion of serpents, and the people of Elis their god Myagoras, the hunter of flies, when the vast multitudes of flies are bringing pestilence among them.

The flies die immediately after the propitiatory sacrifice has been made to this god.

rhodes possesses no eagles in italy beyond the padus there is near the alps a lake known by the name of larius beautifully situated amid a country covered with shrubs and yet this lake is never visited by storks nor are they ever known to come within eight miles of it while in the neighboring territory of the insubras there are immense flocks of magpies and jackdolls the only bird that is guilty of stealing gold and silver a very singular propensity It is said that in the territory of Tarentum, the woodpecker of Mars is never found.

They believe that maybe those were the origins.

So always fun to find ones, much super obvious, like the Ibis is one that I've missed until now.

So I'll probably go into it deeper on an animal episode.

I'm definitely going to do one on birds at some point.

We have a lot of different specific types of birds in the tarot.

So anyway, that's your little fun fact for the day in Ibis.

Very cool.

All right, everyone.
