Ape, Ibis, Swallow

You're most likely aware of what the three animals listed are and it may seem curious as to why a mammal is set into association with two birds.

As I first mentioned, in the beginning of this chapter, there's an overall complexity for consideration.

One interesting observation is that a group of birds is called a flock or group of fish called a school a group of apes is called shrewdness.

Ape: There are many manner, sizes and types of apes but aside from the differentiated physical characteristics of these creatures there is a greater and lesser reference given

scientifically that's used for this animal.

In great many cultures the creation of the ape was brought about from a curse that was cast down from God to humans for different reasons. 

I see it as just another reason to scare people into submission. This curse was assigned by lust through the Christian, blasphemy by the Muslims, pride and ego by the Jews.

Again the truth (actual occurrence) of the stories does not supersede the importance of related information. 

Here the de-evolution is a predominate communication.

Here we are dealing with correspondences and the relationship from one thing to another. 

The consideration here's one of evolution in its conceptual nature as either advancing or that of digression.

Of course science has dated fossils now as far back as forty seven million years ago that show the relation and beginnings of man's evolutionary track.

However if one just compares the evolution of mankind itself in relation to the past two hundred years you'll see the advancements in the physical nature and so too there must

be an automatic reaction with the spiritual nature that coincides as nature in itself.

There will always be those that don't try and always be those that push the progress of things. 

So as all things evolve the ones that aren't trying are stillcarried along the way.

Ibis: Mentioned earlier as one of the most sacred birds of Egypt the Ibis has a very unique structure in the way that it's formed physically.

An interesting aspect of the Ibis is the nostril (hole) that's in the upper side of it's long curved bill that it uses for foraging in the mud for food.

There are a wide variety of Ibis all around the world and exist with different names as egrets also.

There are millions of mummified Ibis that have been found buried, inside of the Egyptian city of the dead or necropolis (graveyards). 

They've been buried along with the dead for centuries. Their clutch size is commonly two or three eggs and to feed they forage in the muck. 

Many are known to feed in small groups and occasionally alone. Their bones and feathers long used as writing quills.

Swallow: The swallow is found on every continent, except Antarctica, and the largest assortment of them are found on the African continent.

They feed mostly upon insects and commonly flying insects are their prey.

It's most common for the swallow to capture its prey in mid flight.

You'll see swallows in large flocks that hold hundreds of birds and notice that they'll shift in flight simultaneously from end to end as if given a signal exactly when and in what

direction to shift towards. Not all species of swallow will travel in flocks and some of the species are more solitary than others.

They'll commonly return to where the were born to nest and mate and this is done by the male either claiming or building a nest or even settling in to a manmade birdhouse and

then attracting a female to it with his call (song.) It's been noted that the female will select the available male with the longest tail. 

The clutch of a swallow is commonly from three to five eggs.

They'll nest in a wide variety of areas and have no problem settling into manmade habitats or building a nest, basically any available area either natural or manmade.
