No, no, no... the 'turnips' are early renditions of ducks, not upland birds.

Take a good look at that receiver again (you may have to hold it upside down) - No duck you know of has a tail that long with a topcrest on its head!! Them are Iowa roosters, pure and simple!!!

I think what Dean was saying is that my metaphor was misplaced, not that the engraving showed ducks. He is quite right.
