Birds 
The Eagle is the most common among the bird crests. Yet, its use as an 
emblem is conventionalized. It appears under various forms, most of them 
conventionalized almost beyond recognition. As the Eagle is the emblem 
of some families in the Eagle phratry, it is intended, besides, that there 
should be no ambiguity and that the other stylistic forms of the Eagle should 
be known under wholly different captions, such as Thunder-bird (Lepleep 
and Geeladal and Mawdzeks) according to the owners.
