secretáriosecretary bird

Probably so named because its crest of long feathers resembles quill pens stuck behind the ears of an office clerk; alternatively, possibly from Arabic صَقْر اَلطَّائِر (ṣaqr aṭ-ṭāʔir, “hunter bird”), from صَقْر (ṣaqr, “falcon, hawk”) طَائِر (ṭāʔir, “bird”); see secretary bird.
