Flying Attributes

By Crusader1307

As we have seen, Beasts on Arms were given a posturing (known as an Attribute). Each Attribute had a different meaning. These attributes were slightly different when conveying meaning to the use of birds in Heraldry. There were 6 “known” “Flying Attributes” used. They are as follows:

1. Close

2. Displayed

3. Rising

4. Affront

5. Striking

6. Migrant

These Attributes were used exclusively for Flying symbols.
