The secretary bird is a mostly terrestrial bird of prey "with an eagle-like body on crane-like legs that give the bird a height of as much as 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in)"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretarybird
The secretary bird's name was inspired by the long, stiff black feathers on the back of its head which look like the quill pens that office workers once kept tucked behind their ears.

I read quite a bit about this bird as a child and was fascinated by it. I didn't know the origin of its name, though. Thanks for the information, Esther.
