Why a book about herbs named after birds? I'm not really sure,
but the idea took flight one evening while watching geese returning
to the north in late spring.
It was geese, to gooseberry to goose grass, to duckweed, to
bird's foot trefoil and away it went, in my mind. Chicken of the
woods, birds's nest and turkey tail next came to mind.
I then began to explore the phrase "birds of a feather," and
realized that herbalism is often a lonely profession; colleagues
and students are special and rare.
A feather in one's cap signifies a special or distinct
accomplishment, and it is true that herbal studies are often
associated with inner learning and integration.
The expression "in fine or good feather" means to be in good
humor or health, and that is the whole idea of this book. A bird in
the hand suggests you are already in possession of something such
as this book, while two birds in the bush are something unsure or
tentative. So take a gander. If you are a night owl, all the
better.
