Untitled

If I remember correctly there is another Rushdie book that mentions the parliment of birds. "Semurg" is also discussed in Victor Pelevin's Generation P/Homo Zapiens/Babylon. 216.165.132.252 (talk) 13:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Angha is not Simorgh

Why is Angha redirecting to Simorgh? Angha is the Arabic version of Ghoghnoos (Phoenix), which is completely different from Simorgh. Is there a reason why Angha is redirecting here that I don't know? I'll be happy to learn something new if anyone knows. Otherwise I think the redirect should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Definite1 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Qazaq samruk

Is this the same bird as the qazaq samruk, the one at the origin of the Bayterek?

The monument is meant to embody a folktale about a mythical tree of life and a magic bird of happiness: the bird, named Samruk, had laid its egg in the crevice between two branches of a poplar tree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.151.217.214 (talk) 18:26, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Senmurv

This creature, or one very like it, appears in Dungeons and Dragons by then name "Senmurv." Does this deserve a mention? Maybe "in popular culture" or some such? Brauden (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The senmurv, a dog-headed beast with wings certainly deserves mention, since it is an ancient Sassanian symbol, but is NOT the same creature as the simurgh, as the main article here claims. Representations of the simurgh are quite distinct from those of the senmurv. 10:34, 14 September 2014 (UTC) Dr. J. Jakeman, D.Phil, Oxon

Zal not albino

Although the Persian word zal means albino, the Shahnameh mentions that Zal had black skin or spotted skin. An albino would not have such coloring of the skin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.202.38 (talk) 21:08, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Simurgh symbol on flag of Tat people"

Is that actually a real flag? It's not referenced at all on the Tat people (Caucasus) page. The "Simurgh" on it appears to be virtually identical to a version of the Vauxhall Griffon (File:Vauxhall logo.png). When doing an image search for "tat people flag", all the results appear to come from a single DeviantArt account. Seems fishy. 31.185.168.201 (talk) 21:45, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
