The English name is imitative of the Eurasian curlew's call, but may have been influenced by the Old French corliu, \"messenger\", from courir , \"to run\". It was first recorded in 1377 in Langland's Piers Plowman \"Fissch to lyue in þe flode..Þe corlue by kynde of þe eyre\". In Europe \"curlew\" usually refers to one species, the Eurasian curlew Numenius arquata.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are one of the most ancient lineages of scolopacid waders, together with the godwits which look similar but have straight bills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurlews feed on mud or very soft ground, searching for worms and other invertebrates with their long bills. They will also take crabs and similar items.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe distribution of curlews has altered considerably in the past hundred years as a result of changing agricultural practices. Reclamation and drainage of marshy fields and moorland, and afforestation of the latter, have led to local decreases, while conversion of forest to grassland in some parts of Scandinavia has led to increases there. There are now only a small number of curlews in Ireland and Britain raising concerns that the bird will go extinct in those countries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndividual bird silhouettes (blackbirds, sparrows and more) in different sizes and scales for indoor and outside.

It is cognate to Old High German: wrendo, wrendilo, and Icelandic: rindill (the latter two including an additional diminutive -ilan suffix). The Icelandic name is attested in Old Icelandic (Eddaic) as rindilþvari. This points to a Common Germanic name wrandjan-, but the further etymology of the name is unknown.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe wren was also known as the kuningilin ('kinglet') in Old High German, a name associated with the fable of the election of the \"king of birds\". The bird that could fly to the highest altitude would be made king. The eagle outflew all other birds, but he was beaten by a small bird that had hidden in his plumage. This fable was already known to Aristotle (Historia Animalium 9.11) and Pliny (Natural History 10.95), and was taken up by medieval authors such as Johann Geiler von Kaisersberg, but it most likely originally concerned kinglets (Regulus) and was apparently motivated by the yellow \"crown\" sported by these birds (a point noted already by Ludwig Uhland). The confusion stemmed in part from the similarity and consequent interchangeability of the Ancient Greek words for the wren (βασιλεύς basileus, 'king') and the crest (βασιλισκος basiliskos, 'kinglet'),and the legend's reference to the \"smallest of birds\" becoming king likely led the title to be transferred to the equally tiny wren. In modern German, the name of the bird is Zaunkönig ('king of the fence (or hedge)') and in Dutch, the name is winterkoning ('king of winter').\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe family name Troglodytidae is derived from troglodyte, which means 'cave-dweller'.

In Europe \"curlew\" usually refers to one species, the Eurasian curlew Numenius arquata. The name Numenius is from Ancient Greek noumenios, a bird mentioned by Hesychius.

Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll puffin species have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks that get brightly coloured during the breeding season. They shed the colourful outer parts of their bills after the breeding season, leaving a smaller and duller beak. Their short wings are adapted for swimming with a flying technique underwater. In the air, they beat their wings rapidly (up to 400 times per minute) in swift flight, often flying low over the ocean's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make over 20 nature inspired key hook designs. Each comes with two holes for fixing to a wall (screws not supplied). Perfect for keys, the hooks are also strong enough for small kitchen or craft utensils, even small garden and allotment tools, therefore useful in a variety of settings!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll dimensions approximate. Illustrations for guidance on main design only. Actual hooks vary in length when bent by hand. Please also note that sometimes the design goes from left to right and vice versa - as we do all this in our studio and we like mixing it up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 148 x 92 x 1.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Zinc-coated mild steel, powder coated\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Blackbird Sang","offers":[{"title":"Puffin","offer_id":55283098976630,"sku":"KEYH20_Puffin","price":13.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1221\/7730\/files\/abs_keyhook_puffin_cutout.jpg?v=1739973668"},{"product_id":"greeting-card-puffins","title":"Greeting Card -
