Why are the two in the air dead?
Heads seem to be up Or is death a certainty because it's a Parker?

The right bird's head is below the body. The wing position also looks "dead" to me, but, I've been wrong once or twice before

I was wondering if I was the only one who wonders about these "Birds".
I have taken a tally of my walkers vs flyers. 8606X, 3 Strutting, 1 Flying 13155X, 4 Flyers 20204X, 1 walking, 3 in Flight 21622X, 2 walking, 2 Flying 21868X, 1 Walking, 3 Flying 22564X, 2 Walking, 2 Flying 22926X, 1 Walking, 3 Flying I need to start looking for a D grade with 3 on the ground, 1 in flight. The surprise came when I looked at my only repro, and there are only 3 pheasants; 1 Walking, 1 Flying, and one with it's wings up, but feet on the ground. |

Parker birds could be mistaken for anything.

That all depends on the artistic talent of the engraver. .

Parkers put a lot of birds dead in the air but just not those two.

Early 'birds' look like Guinea fowl. The Pheasants on my repro are the closest to a pheasant I've seen.

Here's one that looks more like a pheasant than anything else because of its abnormally long tail. Sometimes it's really hard to figure out exactly what these turnips are meant to represent.
