A little cultural Information - The National Bird of Israel



The Hoopoe is the national bird of Israel. I've always loved these birds, even before they were the national bird. They look like a very pretty woodpecker but forage on the ground, primarily. They have a kind of crown on top of their head, which may explain what "The hoopoe is the king of the birds in the Ancient Greek comedy The Birds by Aristophanes" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoopoe)

We saw this pretty bird on our way home from congregation on Shabbat.
