Weird Bird Friday

Unlike all those hard-working Administrative Professionals out there, whose week of recognition (National Administrative Professionals Week) was last week, Drunkawife is a week late on her deadline. This post was slated for last week, but I let life get in the way (something a good Administrative Professional would never do!).

In a belated tribute, drawing on the historic name of National Secretary's Week, here is the Secretary Bird, one from Kenya:

...and another from South Africa:

I saved these pictures a long time ago and now can't seem to get any of the links to the original sites to work. One of them, however, stated:

The Secretary bird is so named because of the crest of long feathers at the back of its head that resemble quill pens that 19th century clerks stuck in their wigs.

Here's a link to a photo blog site that includes a very cool picture of a Secretary Bird (as well as a lot of other very cool pictures).

Hail to thee, Administrative Professional!
