Jesus Creates Birds
Jesus forms birds out of clay.
Quran
| “ | I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into and it is a bird by permission of Allah ] | ” |
This parallels an episode in the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas where he does the same:
Infancy Gospel of Thomas
| “ | then made soft clay and shaped it into twelve sparrows. | ” |
The Injilu 't Tufuliyyah, also known as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ, was written in the middle of the 2nd century.

“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
