 "the cook's bird" because when flown in falconry, it caught so much food for the table, so that's one possibility. Or perhaps the name refers to a carrion-eater - a vulture, maybe?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hope this helps,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kathleen MacAulay&lt;br&gt;Milford Station&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" size="2"&gt;&lt;hr size="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;From:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Tuma Young &amp;lt;tumayoung@yahoo.ca&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;To:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; James W.

Our friends down at the Canning Daylily Garden on Pereaux Rd. have 
henhouses -- the really small ones, each about 2 feet high, big enough 
for a bantam hen and her brood. One day last year Wayne found a 
red-tailed hawk in one of the houses. No hen. He had no idea how the 
hawk got in there, but it clearly hadn't figured out how to get out.
