Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a hawk bird in the osprey family (Pandionidae).  It lives exclusively on fish that it takes from the surface of the water.  The osprey is one of the world's most widespread hawks.  It is believed to be increasing in number and the stock is considered viable.

Staffan Johnson, son of Jie, worked at JIE Ceramics. He drew patterns for Jie in his young years and became a permanent employee.
He was also a partner in the company. He was also an ornithologist so there were many bird paintings.
He also knew other animals and was diligently involved in production, he managed to make about 200 new models for Jie.
