The Jamaican tody is a relatively quiet bird during the non-breeding season. However during the breeding season, they perform increased wing-rattling for both courtship and to show other todies that this is their territory. Courtship feeding has also been observed in the Jamaican tody where a dead insect is exchanged between two partners. In one observation of Jamaican tody copulation, the male chased the female a short distance and once she landed, he swooped down on her and held her crown while performing 29 cloacal contacts in the span of 35 seconds.

The local fossil theropod footprints of Massachusetts may have been at least a partial inspiration for the Tuscarora legend of the Mosquito Monster or Great Mosquito in New York. The story of the Great Mosquito describes it as having a wingspan as wide as three men, a long beak with sharp teeth, claws as long as arrows, a body the size of the bear and leaving birdlike footprints about twenty inches long. It killed many people and when it swooped down on Native forts its large wings made a loud noise. The sky spirit killed the Great Mosquito at the salt lake near Onondaga, where the local Onondaga and Cayuga people examined its remains.

Ghulam Ahmed Hasan Mohammed Parkar (born 25 October 1955 in Kaluste, Maharashtra) is a former Indian cricketer who played in one Test and 10 ODIs from 1982 to 1984. He is the first Indian international cricketer with four initials, Ghulam Ahmed Hasan Mohammed Parkar (born 24 October 1955) in Kaluste, of Maharashtra, earned renown from a very young age as a dashing opening batsman and an outstanding cover fielder of superlative quality. While he usually manned cover position, he was often a part of Ashok Mankad's strategy: Mankad played him deceptively back at mid-on, and if the unsuspecting batsman attempted an extra run, Parkar swooped down on the ball and pulled off run outs with his famous direct hits — a skill he had apparently picked up due to years of playing pittu.
