[Avodah] The thing with feathers

[Saul Mashbaum]

It is of interest, although almost certainly of no halachic import, that in
modern Hebrew,  owf, counterintuitively, is the class of *all* birds (Aves),
and tzipor refers to birds that can fly. For example, in modern
Hebrew, an ostrich
is an owf, but not a tzipor.
