Wild Lovebirds of Maui

American Crescent cycles, affiche de Frederick Winthrop Ramsdell (1866-1915), 1899.

Here we have, in order- The quail, who likes to eat poisonous seeds because they were forbidden to him in ancient times and he does what he wants. The peacock, who famously does not decay when he dies. The hoopoe, whose blood creates sleep paralysis demons. And the rooster, who I guess is called a cock because of all birds he's the only eunuch. Idk, medieval monks are weird as hell. Anyway, this all comes from this 1175 Bestiary.
