All of these birds were named by Adam because of the behaviors he observed. <ref>{{bgw| Ge 2:19 }} And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.</ref> By the riddle they become representative of behaviors we don't want for ourselves. When God looks at us, he does not see our behaviors. He sees the work of Christ and gives us a new name or reputation based on that of Jesus. <ref>{{bgw| | All of these birds were named by Adam because of the behaviors he observed. <ref>{{bgw| Ge 2:19 }} And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.</ref> By the riddle they become representative of behaviors we don't want for ourselves.
