The word owl (or, as it' was formerly, ule is derived from the Latin word ulula-an 'owl. This was probably from the bird's cry and bence is remotely related to our word “howl," Hawk comes from the; root Anf, meaning to take or weize. Cassowary is from kassuwarts, the Malay name of these great birds. The drol looking stork called jabiru traces his 4 South American Indian word
name to
abire, meaning to blow out with wind, which
has reference to the bird's habit of distend- ing the loose skin on the neck. 'Robin is an old diminutive of Rebert, and parrot stande in the same relation to the French word Pier rat-Pater. Oriole is appropriately takeo from the Lalis aureolus, meaning. golden. Mallard, from male, was at first used to denote only the drake, or male, of that species of duck.
