as the German translation from the famous "Histoire naturelle des oiseaux" by
George LouisLeclerc, Comte de Buffon ( 1707-1788). It was published in
France (1771-83) and with more than 1000 copper etchings.

Many of the birds have "Feigenfresser" (fig eater) as part of their name.
This is a mispelling. It should be "Fliegenfresser" (fly eater) (fly catcher).
