THE PERSIAN BIRD 🤗

Mel Campbell @incrediblemelk.bsky.social · 2d

More on the Persian Bird…

Its wild range spanned Pakistan in the west, through the subcontinent SE into the Indochinese Peninsula

In ancient India, China, Egypt, Persia, Judea & Greece it was originally a fighting bird & became a symbol of ferocity

Only in the Hellenistic era was it bred for food
