From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apostlebird (Struthidea cinerea) is a quick-moving, gray or black bird about 12 inches (30 centimeters) long. It is a native to Australia where it roams woodlands, eating insects and seeds. Apostlebirds always seem to travel in groups of about 12; for this reason they where named after the Biblical apostles - the twelve followers of Jesus Christ. In fact they travel in groups of between 6 and 20.
