Has adapted well to humans, and
               is now common even in fairly
               densely populated areas.

               Cinnyris is a small bird
               mentioned by Hesychius;
               ornatus is Latin for ornate,
               adorned.
          
         
            
               Knowing that a bird exists without seeing
               it for yourself is merely knowledge
               without experience--savoir without
               connaissance--which is never enough.
