Hoopoes in human culture

• The Hoopoe featured in Greek mythology. Once a man, Tereus was transformed into the form of a Hoopoe. The character featured prominently in such works as Aristophanes' The Birds.
• Muslims associate the Hoopoe with the Prophet Suleyman (King Solomon) and the Queen of Sheba's visit.
• In classical Chinese poetry, the Hoopoe is depicted as a celestial messenger often bearing news of the spring. The Hoopoe is generally considered auspicious in China thanks to its unique beauty.
