Resum

Birds and bird imagery appear in most European languages as euphemisms for male (and female) sexual organs, and they extend, quite naturally, to describe sexual acts. Even a superficial search in modern language dictionaries shows how pervasive this terminology is to this day. After having ascertained this pervasive use of birds and bird lore as erotic indicators in the Renaissance, the article attempts to answer why birds were used as a vehicles for erotic meaning. Although it might seem an unlikely skip of logic, the area that provides the most interesting results is that of dietary theories pertaining to birds and their culinary use.
