Since I am not a bird watcher, the behaviors that Adam observed when naming the bird may elude me. It would be fun to ask a bird watcher about bird behaviors based on the names Adam gave them, which are now revealed through the restored notarikon.

'''Eagle'''
'''Eagle'''
How is it that Israel, who has seen many miracles from God, continually were chasing after false gods? They forgot the Lord. [3] [4] [5].


The eagle represents those who forget God. Perhaps Adam saw the lone eagle on high, looking down on all and thought to himself, "That bird thinks he is a god".  When we forget God, we sometimes think we can make our own rules.

'''Ossifrage'''
'''Ossifrage'''


Those who sow division in the church are not of the Spirit and should be avoided. [6] [7]
The ossifrage eats almost only bones. Adam watching one tear his food apart and breaking the bones would have been quite a sight. He named the ossifrage 'divide'. <ref>{{bgw| Ro 16:17 }} Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.</ref>
 
If Adam saw a ossifrage eating a locust (we can only guess); holding it down and tearing it apart, he may have given the bird this name. 'Locust' means 'the light in her'. The behavior would be described as tearing the pure one.
 
    ossifrage perec פרס - divide [8], pure [9]. It is a symbol of tearing apart the pure.
    locust ‘arbeh ארבה - light אר in her בה.


 
* ossifrage ''perec'' פרס - divide

'''Osprey'''


The Hebrew word for 'osprey' has the word 'goat' within it. The goat, representing the flesh, is not of the spirit, and so should be avoided.

    ospray ‘ozniyah עזניה - the goat עז hears זנ God's will י and doesn't understand ה. The goat represents the flesh. [10]

Vulture
'''Vulture'''


Beside the behavior of eating dead things, the vulture represents those who cause others to wander in ignorance. Did the Disney animators pick up on the same behavior that Adam observed when they use the shrugging of the shoulders as an indicator of ignorance? "Whatcha wanna do?" "I dunno... what YOU want to do?"Jesus confronted some religious leaders who would not accept his teaching, and they also would not allow others to learn from Jesus as they tried to disrupt him while teaching. [11]
