Àwọn àlàyé mìíràn
In ancient Yorùbá culture, the ọ̀kín was a bird deeply associated with kingship, honor, and prestige. It was described as having two long white tail feathers that often adorned the crown of a king or cap of a chief (this has been associated with the white form of the African crested flycatcher). Upon the introduction of the peacock to Nigeria in the 20th century, the name ọ̀kín has been translated as "peacock." Other translations of ọ̀kín also associate it with the cattle egret.
