Haec avis dicitur esse stolida et volare non potest, sed alis extensis aliquantulum citat cursum. Spicula quaedam habet in cubitis interioribus alarum quibus ferit eos quibus insilit. Haec avis mense Iulio ovat et ova in sabulo abscondit quae calore solis egrediuntur sicut et alia multa ova animalium: et ideo ad ea non revertitur quia nudo corpore ea fovere  non posset. Aliquando autem custodit ea et respicit ad locum in quo iacent: et ideo rumor falsus exivit quod visu ea foveat.

Infinitives

The infinitive, the second principal part of a verb, is considered a verbal noun.  It is generally translated in English with the word  "to" and the verb; hence:  amare = to love, habere = to have, dormire = to sleep.  Infinitives have both active and passive forms and are found in the present, perfect and future tenses, although the future passive infinitive is exceedingly rare in Latin.
