Little bird on 12G1805 head

Post by Sir Clip »

Hello immense knowledge bank, does anyone know the significance of the Little Bird motif on a 12G940 11stud 12G1805 head, please? The head has had a fair bit of flow love, at some time.
Thanks

Is said little bird maybe a swift? If you catch my drift. ;)

I doubt its a swift, they would always be illustrated in flight, they don't perch much anyway. Looks like a finch, although I have no idea of the significance.

If you zoom in, it has a capital F on its wing.

Perhaps it's a Finch - still doesn't mean anything to me, sadly.
