    As you enter the next room, you hear a rustling in the dark, followed by a hiss. Four eyes peer out of the shadows, watching you. You stand perfectly still, making sure not to move, as a creature steps out into the light and looks you over. At first, it just seems like an odd looking, out of place chicken – perhaps a little bit bigger than other chickens you might have seen, but other than that, just a regular bird. But something about it seems off, and after a moment, you realize what it is – this bird doesn’t have a tail. Then, you realize that you’re wrong. It does have a tail, but its tail is a living snake, a second pair of eyes that stare at you. “What are you doing in my larder?” the creature squawks at you. You explain that you’re just trying to find your way to the Griffin’s tower, and it calms down considerably. “Oh, okay then. I don’t like people poking around in here, but if you’re just passing through it’s no problem. The ladder up into the Clock tower is right over there.” You are ready to leave, but curiosity overtakes you, and you ask the creature what it is. “I shall answer your question,” it hisses, “with a song.” Then, it throws back its bird head and begins to crow. I am the mighty cockatrice I like to eat up grains of rice But I also enjoy munching mice I do not like the cold or ice I’ve said it once and I will say it thrice I am the Cockactrice! I am the Cockatrice! “Myself, along with the Griffin, the Dragon, and a few others, all came to live here with the Wizard.

  • Very Important Poultry
    Very Important Poultry Great, Sacred and Tragic Chickens of History and Literature John Ashdown-Hill 1 dedicated to Thea, Yoyo and Duchess (long may they scranit), and to the memory of Barbie and Buffy. 2 3 Contents Introduction Chickens in Ancient Egypt Greek Chickens The Roman Chicken Chinese Chickens Chickens and Religion The Medieval Chicken The Gallic Cockerel Fighting Cocks Chickens of Music and Literature, Stage and Screen Proverbial and Record-Breaking Chickens Tailpiece 4 5 Introduction Domestic chickens have long been among our most useful animal companions, providing supplies of eggs and — for the carnivorous — meat. In the past, fighting cocks were also a source of entertainment. Sadly, in some parts of the world, they still are. The poet William Blake (1757-1827) expressed his high opinion of chickens in the words: Wondrous the gods, more wondrous are the men, More wondrous, wondrous still the cock and hen. Nevertheless, the chicken has not generally been much respected by mankind. Often chickens have been (and are to this day) treated cruelly. The horror of battery farming is a disgrace which is still very much with us today. At the same time, England has recently witnessed a great upsurge of interest in poultry keeping. Both bantams and large fowl have become popular as pets with useful side products. They are, indeed, ideal pets. Friendly, undemanding, inexpensive, consuming relatively little in the way of food, and giving eggs as well as affection in return. As pets they have distinct advantages over the more traditional (but totally unproductive) dogs, cats, guinea pigs and rabbits.

Walter In 1474, a chicken passing for a rooster laid an egg, and was prosecuted by law in the city of Basel. Now, we are inclined to dismiss the event as fowl play, but in those days lusus naturae was no joke. The animal was sentenced in a solemn judicial proceeding and condemned to be burned alive "for the heinous and unnatural crime of laying an egg." The execution took place "with as great solemnity as would have been observed in consigning a heretic to the flames, and was witnessed by an immense crowd of townsmen and peasants." 1 The same kind of prosecution took place in Switzerland again as late as 1730.

Santiago, Chile. Correspondence: [email protected]. RESUMEN.– El estado de conservación de la gallina mapuche, que incluye los subtipos collonca y quetro, es- taba seriamente amenazado a fines del siglo pasado. Su presencia en comunidades mapuche en la Región de La Araucanía era escasa y su empleo en rogativas como el Nguillatun era solo esporádico y desconocido para las nuevas generaciones. En este trabajo se da cuenta de su etno–ornitología, su historia y del modo de herencia de sus caracteres morfológicos, que podrían explicar la alarmante disminución de su población durante el siglo pa- sado, y su recuperación sostenida durante los últimos años. Prospecciones a principios de este siglo (2000–2004) daban cuenta de individuos aislados dentro de planteles caseros en localidades rurales apartadas. El tipo más escaso era la gallina quetro (con aretes), presente solamente en cinco localidades, todas ellas fuera de la Región de La Araucanía. La conservación ex situ por clubes especializados en Norteamérica y Europa, a partir de un reducido número de individuos importados durante la primera mitad del siglo XX ha seguido directrices de ex- hibición más que de preservación genética de la raza. El rescate y multiplicación de ejemplares remanentes y su reintroducción a comunidades mapuche, junto al apoyo en difusión por programas de televisión, han potenciado una rápida revalorización de colloncas y quetros, y sobre todo una importante recuperación de la memoria ances- tral de su rol para el pueblo mapuche.

  • Sound Localization in Birds - Physical and Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Sound Localization in the Chicken
    Technische Universität München Lehrstuhl für Zoologie Sound Localization in Birds - Physical and Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Sound Localization in the Chicken Hans A. Schnyder Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan für Ernährung, Landnutzung und Umwelt der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Rudolf Fries Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Prof. Dr. Harald Luksch 2. Prof. Dr. Bernhard Seeber Die Dissertation wurde am 09.08.2017 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan für Ernährung, Landnutzung und Umwelt am 22.01.2018 angenommen. Summary Accurate sound source localization in three-dimensional space is essential for an animal’s orientation and survival. While the horizontal position can be determined by interaural time and intensity differences, localization in elevation was thought to require external structures that modify sound before it reaches the tympanum. Here I show that in birds even without external structures such as pinnae or feather ruffs, the simple shape of their head induces sound modifications that depend on the elevation of the source. A model of localization errors shows that these cues are sufficient to locate sounds in the vertical plane. These results suggest that the head of all birds induces acoustic cues for sound localization in the vertical plane, even in the absence of external ears. Based on these findings, I investigated the neuronal processing of spatial acoustic cues in the midbrain of birds. The avian midbrain is a computational hub for the integration of auditory and visual information. While at early stages of the auditory pathway time and intensity information is processed separately, information from both streams converges at the inferior colliculus (IC).
