bamber 128 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Mmm. I haven't seen these particular birds but the Clifton family coat of arms incorporates two peacocks. So I'll go for ... peacocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trevorthegasman 150 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I have just checked on the coat of arms for the Clifton family at Australind which is just down the road from Bunbury it is a name made up from Australia and India and was going to be the capital in W.A. for the east indies company and yes indeed it is the same intwined peacocks. Wish I knew how to download it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
