Haydock's commentary
Heron, or "stork," noted for the same quality: chasida, means "piety."
Charadrion, a kind of heron, (Calmet) mentioned by Aristotle, viii. 3. It is found in deep holes and rocks. (Menochius)
Some translate parrot, peacock, kite, &c. Anapha,may denote a bird easily vexed. (Calmet)
Houp, or lapwing. (Haydock)
Bat. Strabo (xvii.) speaks of some very large, which were salted and eaten at Borsippe.
