Passerine
A passerine () is any bird of the order Passeriformes (; from Latin 'sparrow' and '-shaped') which includes more than half of all bird species. Sometimes known as perching birds, passerines generally have an anisodactyl arrangement of their toes (three pointing forward and one back), which facilitates perching. With more than 140 families and some 6,500 identified species, Passeriformes is the largest order of birds and one of the most diverse clades of terrestrial vertebrates, representing 60% of birds.Ericson, P.G.P. et al.

Robin (magazine)
''Robin'' was a British weekly children's magazine published from 1953 to 1969, originally by Hulton Press. ''Robin'' was billed as "companion to ''Eagle'', '' Girl'', and '' Swift''" and aimed at younger readers and pre-readers. Both the weeklies and annuals were originally edited by Marcus Morris, but by 1962 Clifford Makins had become editor. Artists who worked on ''Robin'' included Sabine Schweitzer, Jennetta Vise, Basil Reynolds, Reg Foster, and Robert Williams. Publication history In 1959–1960, Odhams Press acquired Hulton Press, renaming it Longacre Press,. thus taking over publication of ''Eagle'', ''Girl'', ''Swift'', and ''Robin''.

Odhams' board found this too attractive to refuse and, in 1961, Odhams was taken over by Fleetway. In 1963 its holdings were amalgamated with those of the G ...

''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' is a 1975 British comedy film based on the Arthurian legend, written and performed by the Monty Python comedy group ( Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) and directed by Gilliam and Jones in their feature directorial debuts. It was conceived during the hiatus between the third and fourth series of their BBC Television series '' Monty Python's Flying Circus''. While the group's first film, '' And Now for Something Completely Different'', was a compilation of sketches from the first two television series, ''Holy Grail'' is an original story that parodies the legend of King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail. Thirty years later, Idle used the film as the basis for the 2005 Tony Award-winning musical '' Spamalot''. ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' grossed more than any other British film screened in the US in 1975, and has since been considered one of the greatest comedy films of all ...
