Overall Conflict Table

And now, a table to consider the various factors: bird category, default posture, and what it would conflict with. This is built from combing precedent postings, and I provide links to my resources here.

  • Is the bird displayed in default period posture and drawn correctly?
  • Also compare based on color, number, and position in the device, as you would for any other charge.
  • Notes: I've tried to index every term that I found in precedent, so some birds may be listed more than once, under different terms.
  • The Conflicts with and Clear of columns assume birds in default or period postures. If they are not in their default or period postures, you must check against the posture they are in.
  • A generic "bird" (not clear enough in the emblazon to specify) conflicts with all other birds, and has no "proper" tincture.
  • Unless otherwise specified, bird categories and default postures come from the 11/03 LoaR attachment, table on bird
  • A bird with the notation of (P) has a link to the Proper Tinctures of Birds table.
