Hi there,
Although looking much the same, this bird is not a stork but a crane. In 18th century heraldry, the crane symbolized vigilance, and to make sure he didn't fall asleep he held a stone. Gentlemen, it's all on the net and easy to find. Please use the web ...  http://www.heraldica.org/topics/birds.htm Last edited by Matchlock; 15th November 2010 at 07:24 PM. |
