Front Cover – HOOPOE (UPUPA EPOPS)
Te bird is brown and yellow in color with black and white wings. Its legs are short with relatively large wings. Te bill is narrow and thin. Te
male and female birds look alike. Te Hoopoe has a consolidated tassel feather on its head which it can spread at will. Te females nest in holes,
spaces and crates, generally close to the ground. To protect her nest, the female secretes a repugnant substance from the Uropygial gland, which
smells of decaying meat. Te secretion is thought to help deter predators as well as parasites.
Te Hoopoe is found in Europe, Asia and Africa. In Israel there is a stable population of Hoopoes, mainly in the coastal area but there has been a
tendency for the birds to spread inland due to the increase in cultivated felds and lawns. Te bird feeds on insect larvae which are extracted from
the soil with the aid of its long beak. Te Hoopoe call is typically a trisyllabic oop-oop-oop, which gives rise to its English and scientifc names.
Te Hoopoe is mentioned in the Bible as being impure (Leviticus: 11) and the G’mara refers to it as the bird that brings dill worms for cutting the
Temple stones. Te bird is also mentioned in the Koran regarding King Solomon and the queen of Sheba (Sura 27). In medieval times, mystical
attributes were ascribed to the Hoopoe.
In May 2008, in conjunction with the country’s 60th anniversary and following a national survey of 155,000 citizens, the Hoopoe was chosen
as the national bird of Israel, outpolling the Eagle, lesser kestrel, barn owl, sunbirds, warblers, bulbul, fnch, and the white breasted kingfsher.

S
ince my appointment as editor of the Israel Journal of Veterinary Medicine I have
tried to convince veterinarians both in the small and large animal felds to start
documenting their experiences and begin writing articles, case reports and reviews
for the journal. To my disappointment this has not proved to be an easy task.
I have tried to persuade my fellow veterinarians with reasons such as: document and pub-
lish your experiences; documentation and publications will allow for future advancement
within the profession; the recognition of ones work by a peer reviewed journal will give
acknowledgment of professional success and excellence.
Tis leads to the question of how do we see ourselves? On the one hand we may be judged
as profcient clinicians by our clients but on the other hand it would also be regarded as an
accomplishment to obtain recognition of our clinical and scientifc skills from our fellow
veterinarians and peers. Te options are: clinician, clinician scientist or scientist clinician
or scientist? Bearing in mind that we all qualifed in academic institutions receiving aca-
demic degrees it seems reasonable to assume that we have a scientifc background which
we should be applying to enhance our clinical skills.
Following on from this I see the“writing experience” as part of our continuing scientifc
learning process. Te documentation of our experiences obliges us to study the current
literature and in so doing enhance our knowledge and expand our experience in the feld
in which we work.
My message in this editorial is for us veterinarians to see ourselves as “clinical scientists”;
to endeavor to enhance our scientifc knowledge and to be seen in the eyes of the public
as responsible veterinarians. An important part of this process involves writing and I en-
courage my colleagues to do so.
I look forward to receiving your articles for review.
