And our societal crest could be a 26" gull with
--medium, no darker, no lighter, grey with
--black, no jet black, no sooty black, no really dark grey, wing tips, and
--a yellow, no brown, no gold, no brown flecked with gold, no eyes the
color of my mother's pancakes
--and pinkish, no paler, no pinker feet.
Of course, the colors of our societal symbol would change in the light,
and different crests on different pieces of clothes might have to be lumped,
split, re-lumped, and re-split depending on water conditions and bleach
and detergent used.
Junior members would be known as mews, and as they grew up we
could debate what species that actually became!
Cheers! Ray
