* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* YOKE: The Yoke symbolizes Unity.

* GRAPE: The Grapes symbolizes Liberality, felicity, and peace; also, association with wine-making.

* TROUT: The Trout is a symbol of Ardent Spirit in war and Calm and Serene in Peace.

* PARROT: The Parrot is a symbol of a Noble Knight, who looks with pleasure at the enamels on his shield, with the intention of not only preserving them, but adding new stamps with his own deeds and is also a symbol of Eloquence and Docility.
