To judge by Andr{e'} de Monts{e'}gur's blazon reg. 12/98,
"an eagle ... maintaining a widget and a wadget" is one possibility.
I gather that it is assumed that it's maintaining them in its talons,
rather than in its beak, balancing them on its head, or whatever.
Conchobar mac Eoin, 4/99, explicitly blazons "maintaining
in its dexter talon a pomme and in its sinister talon a hurt"..
The extra clarity isn't harmful.
