UPUPA, in Ornithology, a genus of birds belonging to 
the order of Picse, the characters of which are, that the bill 
is bent, long, slender, convex, subcompressed, and somewhat 
obtuse: the nostrils are small at the base of the bill; the 
tongue obtuse, entire, triquetrous, and very short; and the 
feet formed for walking, in the Linnaean system by Gmelin 
there are eight species, which are as follow: 
1. Upupa epops.—Crested and variegated, or the ferruginous 
hoopoe, with the wings barred black and white, the tail 
black, with a lunated white bar, and the crest tipped with 
black and white. It is an elegant bird, generally inhabit¬ 
ing the warmer and temperate parts of the old continent, and 
migrating occasionally, at different seasons, in different 
directions. In our island it is much more rarely seen than in 
other northern climates. It is about the size of a common 
thrush. The colour of the head, neck, and body, is pale 
ferruginous or cinnamon-brown; the wings and tail are 
black, the former crossed by five white bars, the latter by a 
white crescent; the rump and lower part of the abdomen are 
white, and the sides generally marked by a few longitudinal 
dusky streaks; on the head is an elegant crest, which it can 
either erect or expand, or depress and close at pleasure, com¬ 
posed of feathers which are cinnamon-coloured, with black 
tips, a white bar separating the tip from the rest of the 
feathers; the legs are short and blackish. The hoopoe 
migrates during the spring from Africa into various parts of 
Europe, and returns in winter. In various parts of Egypt, 
however, it is nearly domesticated, building even among the 
houses. The flesh of these domestic hoopoes is rank and 
unfit for eating, but that of the migrating birds is considered 
in many parts of Europe as an agreeable food, particularly 
in Italy, the south of France, and in the Grecian islands. Its 
nest is to be sometimes found in a wall or tree, and is gene¬ 
rally said to have a peculiarly fetid smell, supposed to be 
chiefly owing to the remains of various kinds of insects. 
The number of eggs is from five to seven. In Egypt the 
migrating hoopoe never associates with those of the towns, 
but frequents remote and solitary places. These'birds are 
generally seen on the surface of the ground, being very 
rarely observed to perch on trees. Dr. Shaw mentions as a 
variety the blue-crested hoopoe, observed at Florence and on 
the Alps, near the town of Rota, and differing from the 
5 M common
