Finally got in. The directory for the above files bird.gif and birds.gif
is really pub/gif/b

In fact they have directories a,b,c,...z as well as on called 0-9.
Files are placed in these directories according to the first letter
of the file name. Other files mentioned but not seen by me are:

aves.pionus.Z   I assume these may be birds the .Z extension means they
aves_maxim.Z    have to be "uncompress"ed before they are .gif files.
crow.gif
eagle.gif
flamingo.gif
roadrunn
roadrunner.Z  (probably the cartoon one)
toucan.gif
tweety.gif   (almost definitely cartoon, but hey)
gulls.gif    same as one in denmark, a lot closer to get
owl.gif
parrot.gif   same as one in denmark

Bird is a hummingbird on a limb with its wings flashed. Dark
head, rufous body, broad? bill.
Birds is a shot of two parrots--red with blue wings. Resolution
isn't good on either, hummer is better.
