The Earliest Bird, Archaeopteryx, Fossil Skeleton with Feathers, Photographic Print

Archaeopteryx ("AR-kee-OP-ter-iks"), the most primitive bird known, has more in common with dinosaur than with modern birds even though it had the ability to fly. The name comes from the Greek archaios = ancient + pteryx= feather/wing.

The preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past are called fossils (Latin fossus = "having been dug up").

Illustration for Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven', by Édouard Manet, 1875, Giclee Print

Ravens are higly intelligence bird, perhaps as wolves and some breeds of dogs.

... Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more. ...
