Birds: Beautiful Fertilisers of Earth
Our people, throughout Africa, believed many strange things regarding birds. First of all, our general name for a bird in Zulu is ingonyi, while in Sesotho and Tswana it is ngonyani. These are beautiful, strange and mystical African words, which mean ‘fat’ and ‘fattening’.
Now… what has a bird to do with being fat ? Our people believed that, like the animal herds that used to criss-cross the face of Africa, birds were bringers of fertility. We believed that the great bird migrations that used to come into our skies at certain times of the year brought fertility to or ‘fattened’ the land. For this reason, a bird, any bird, is called the fertiliser or the fattener… ingonyi
Another belief regarding birds is that they are the souls of human beings who have reached a high state of perfection. When you have been reincarnated seven times on
Earth, as either a human being or an animal, you are raised by the Gods to the state of a bird, the freest creature in the world; a creature that is a friend to the air, friend to the land and friend to the water. This is the ingonyi - the freest of the free, the fattener, the fertiliser.
