18 Beautiful Secretary Birds Showing Of Their Incredible Eyelashes

In 1835 the Irish naturalist William Ogilby spoke at a meeting of the Zoological Society of London and proposed three species of secretarybird, distinguishing those from Senegambia as having broader crest feathers than those from South Africa, and reporting a distinct species from the Philippines based on the writings of Pierre Sonnerat in his Voyage à la Nouvelle-Guinée.There is no other evidence this taxon existed.Despite its large range, the secretarybird is considered monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.
