and if you kill one, you face a federal offense. A symbol is not edible. If it were, we'd have a chicken or a turkey. Geeze..

we see many things we don't eat. I personally think the bird is beautiful. Disctinctive colors and handsome markings. Pretty bird.

Sorry. You're mistaken. Andras and Bereny never was angels. That two name are originating from Hungary. They're not Jewish names at all. Many of the Hungarian names are angelic names, that's true, angels had many of these names, but these two are not any of them. These are Demon names. And Demons, including Satan are not and never was Angels before, regardless that many are believing this. They're also not and never was Fallen Angels as others are also believing in this. It's a long and pretty story, but two or three full pages wouldn't be enough for that. I'm not intend to offend anyone, nor Mr. Bereny, nor you Rivkah. I just highlighting you mistake about Angels and Demons.

Adam and Eve and the human race if a thrid of His angels had not rebelled. Mankind was made to replace the lost part of the Lord's house, only they were made lower than the angels until after resurrection when they will be higher than the angels of the Lord. Demons are different from fallen angels. Google Andras and Bereny and you will find those were once names of fallen angels who were once in the Lord's host (army) of angels. Demons are believed to be the spirits of the nephilim who were possibly first generation born of human women and fallen angels before the Flood of Noah. They have no power unless they can influence humans to do what they want or unless they can indwell in humans to do evil through them. That is different from fallen angels that can shape shift and appear as animals and humans. Demons are invisible except to someone the Lord has opened their eyes to perceive demons. Angels can be invisible but can also choose to appear in a form people can perceive.

Kosher means "fitting." Fitting for all kinds of reasons, all clearly spelled out, but being clean isn't one of them.

actually prefered the wild turkey. He said it was typically American, only found in America, while there are eagles all over the world.

Excuse me, I was told Kosher meant clean. Fitting works too, thanks. Perhaps it's fitting to eat clean food?

One more good dicision by Ben franklin. We may have been eating our national symbol had Franklins wish had come true.

Didn't anyone read the article about her!!

i found an injured hoopoe honeyscuker in yard and it is beautifull

very beautiful bird

This bird is also the national bird of Menorca ,a Balearic Island off the coast of Spain, They do look a bit different though!

In the Torah , hoopoe is listed among the unclean birds. How can this bird be considered as the national bird of Israel
