birds of what?

In Asia, the general rule thumb is, if there is english on it, it must
be good. However, the probability of the text being wrong is one.
But what about spanish?

 Today my friend Corinna was wearing a shirt with the inscription,
Pajaros de Rezar. I took spanish in high school, and immediately
started laughing. Translated in English, this is Birds of Pray. I've
never heard of this classification. Religious birds, mind you, and
not the kind that hunt using raptor-like talons. I wonder if the
Osprey is a devout Catholic or subscribes to Lutheranism.

at least now the Taiwanese people no longer buying stuff with tag saying "made in Taiwan" when they travel to the US, then proudly present it as items from from America... lol.
