A translation of a 1598 Dutch account (the original is lost)
"On their left hād was a little Island which they named Hemskerk Island, and the bay it selfe they called Warwick bay ... Here they taried 12. daies to refresh themselues, finding in this place great quantity of foules twise as bigge as swans, which they called Walghstocks or Wallowbirdes being very good meat. But finding also aboundance of pidgeons & popiniayes, they disdained any more to eat of those great foules, calling them (as before) Wallowbirds, that is to say, lothsome or fulsome birdes."
