What you want to read is the BIG precedent on birds. Find it either in
Elsbeth's compiled precedents under BIRD - Precedence on Difference, or
see the January 2000 cover letter.
Some (absolutely NOT all - do read the original) points to remember:
A bird other than an eagle emblazoned displayed will be considered a
weirdness. Reason: In period only eagles were emblazoned displayed.
Displayed raptors are all equivalent as there's just not enough details
in the head and tail to make a CD.
Birds in their period postures, hence birds that were period charges,
are most likely to get difference.
Rendition is important A blob with a beak and wings isn't going to be
as likely to be noticibly different from other birds as, say, a hawk
close belled and jessed, or a raven close.
Have I mentioned you should go read the whole precedent? Do. :)
