Wings of the Gods: Birds in the World's Religions
Birds have always been gods and messengers of gods. More than symbols, birds gained divine status by guiding people to water and food, replanting forests after ice ages and fires, and settling into farming and urban life.

The narrative then moves through legends, rituals, costumes, wars, and s…
