	Medieval Bestiary : Introduction
		The way the young of the hoopoe care for their elderly parents shows how human children should care for theirs.
		The bestiary manuscripts were usually illustrated, sometimes lavishly, as for example in the Harley Bestiary and the Aberdeen Bestiary; the pictures served as a "visual language" for the illiterate public, who knew the stories - preachers used them in sermons - and would remember the moral teaching when they saw the beast depicted.
		They appeared not only in bestiaries but in manuscripts of all kinds; in churches and monasteries, carved in stone both inside and out, and in wood on misericords and on other decorated furniture; painted on walls and worked into mosaics; and woven into tapestries.

	Green Wood-hoopoe, Phoeniculus purpureus
		The commonest of the Wood-hoopoes which, despite the name, generally looks more blue than green.

		The Black-billed fortunately lives only in the North-East where the Green Wood-hoopoe is absent; the Violet Wood-hoopoe's range does overlap and they're very difficult to distinguish.

		Furthermore, that the Palestinian fauna is not now as rich as it used to be during the Biblical times, must not be wondered at; the land, now bare, was then well wooded, especially on the hills east of the Jordan; hence the changes.
		Although no regular classification is to be sought for in the Bible, it is easy to see, however, that the animal creation is there practically divided into four classes, according to the four different modes of locomotion; among the animals, some walk, others fly, many are essentially swimmers, several crawl on the ground.
