Here's a story about a pheasant who was the symbol of his town - The Pheasant and the Fox:

"I'm the pride of the whole town, the symbol, the figurehead, and the crowning glory."

But I'm sure that's not Sorcha's town, where I'm sure they wodl copr much better with the situation. (But there is some great stuff in that link to a site called "Fables" - and some very interesting links too.)
