All known species of Birds can be found on Coats of arms – Storks, Pelicans, Doves, Swans, Ostriches, Roosters, Peacocks, Pigeons, Seagulls… Whether they are part of the Coat of Arms being the element of the Shield, as its Supporters or found in the Crest.
We also meet mythological Birds – one interesting bird that is often encountered is the Phoenix, originating from Greek mythology. It is rarely found on the Shield itself, more often it is placed in the Crest – it is always shown as a double-headed Eagle, surrounded by flames.
