Birddom

The parrot particularly, which may be considered the autocrat of the feathered tribes leads all birddom in the number and variety of diseases to which it is subject.

As March creeps into April, the panoply of summer birddom has begun to reassemble.

I doubt there is a zoo in the world which doesn't have at least a few of these gorgeous creatures strutting through the grounds, from time to time deigning to show off the most extravagant plumage in all of birddom.
