Beautiful beings do not sing in melodious tones” is the unwritten legendary indigenous postulate in Tamilnadu and this note of German missionary Pressier very much appears to have been accepted by the Germans also! Example: the beautiful peacock‟s voice is not bearable – let alone being pleasant. Conversely, the cuckoo and the lark which are not as beautiful as the peacocks sing very pleasantly. Yet another example is the parrot. It looks beautiful; but its voice is not melodious. And it is a matter of extreme surprise and appreciation to us today, to note that these Germans keenly observed not only the birds and animals here in Tamilnadu; but also our heritage legends and fables, associated with zoological and ornithological beings, all of which they came to know of during their tenure in Tamilnadu as Lutheran „missionaries‟ for nearly two centuries.
