The Legend of Oriol

At the beginning of time, this bird was a humble being that was part of a group of animals that were ungracious in their appearance.
When they saw themselves reflected in the waters near the river, they were disappointed and envied by the vivid colors of the rest of the creatures.
Unhappy with their sheath, they met in secret behind the Gods to whisper and planned to ask for an audience to expose their disenchantment by the bad aspect that they thought to have.
God came to his call and let them talk. But more than that, it was a lot of complaining and whining about animals that were unhappy with their appearance.
At the end of the exhibition, God kept silence making them feel very uncomfortable so that in that space they would reflect and think what they were expressing.
As no one seemed aware of the seriousness of the situation, God made a movement with his hand and the beings that had been grouped there rejoined.
God's eyes rested on a discreet bird of gray ash and black that had nothing to do with what had been derived there.
This animal that also wore sad and dull colors was considered satisfied with the miracle of having been created and had not wanted to participate in that exhibition.
Then God pointed it out with his finger and said,
- You, you're a good bird. From today you will become my messenger and you will wear the divine rays of my power and with them you will face the forces of darkness because you will be a symbol of thought among men and through you I will speak with them.
- Your only presence in the heavens will be a sign of good news.
And with that, God left as the rays of the sun touched the plumage of the Oriol and part of his body was dressed in a most beautiful golden color.
