[MR] BBC: Cockatoo Drawings Found in 13th C Book

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC reports that researchers are all a twitter after identified
images of a bird in a 13th C. falconry book as an Australasian cockatoo.
The book was created for the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, and the bird
was apparently a gift from an Egyptian Sultan:
