According to the different continents and countries, the heron is a symbol of strength, purity, patience and long life in China, while in Africa it speaks with the Gods. 

The Egyptians honour this bird as the creator of light, and the Amerindians make it the symbol of wisdom.

Considered a sign of good luck by the Iroquois, the heron is finally recognised as an expert hunter and fisherman.

These two qualities are common to the species of the Ardeidae family, and moreover, these birds are beautiful, graceful and elegant.
