A large bird-like creature stands on a branch at night. The creature looks a little like an owl, with long pointed ears, but has a face more suggestive of a cat. In the center of the creature's chest, there's a round, brightly lit yellow window with someone looking out of it. The creature's eyes are also round and yellow. The creature stands against a starry sky.

A blue background on which is placed a white shield. The white shield has an orange, birdlike symbol on it, vaguely suggestive of an eagle or thunderbird. There is a star where the bird's head would be. Pasted onto the shield in the upper region are two googly eyes.

The stump of a tree rises from fog. This is a relatively tall stump, maybe a quarter or third the height of the original tree. On top of the stump sits a large, roundish bird with an owl-like face, hunched into its wings. Sticking out from one side of the stump is a small clawlike hand, holding a large blue egg. Above is a hazy sun.

A roughly cut rocky slab with a large arched window in it stands among grass. It's a puppet theater, in which a production is taking place: two round faces on sticks interact. The two faces resemble Facebook's "angry" and "haha" emoji. The angry face is looking up at the laughing face. The angry face has a beard; the laughing face, placed above it, has spiky hair. Above the two figures hang items intended as scenery: a cloud and a lightning bolt, both suspended from the top of the window by threads. There's a wispy suggestion of clouds in the top left of the sky. Perched on top of the right side of the theater is a black bird that looks a little like a crow. Below the window, on the front of the theater, is carved a mask, one side of which is frowning, and one side of which is smiling.

A chunk of carved stone or clay, with an imprint in it. It's an irregularly shaped object with the carved imprint of a bird on it. The bird, which looks like a sparrow or some small songbird, is vaguely anthropomorphic: it has humanoid legs, wings spread, and it appears to be wearing a shirt with pockets and a tie. If I was still in college, I'm sure I could conjure up some paragraphs explaining how meaningful this is, but I'm not, so it's a bloody sparrow wearing a tie and let's leave it at that.

A person wearing a v-neck sweater and T-shirt. Just the person's upper half and head are visible, like a portrait. The thing about this person is that their head is a large, spherical boulder. On top of their head is perched a small bird.

A grassy hilltop, except it's a man with a huge long beard. The man's head is like a boulder sticking up from the hilltop. The man's head looks mostly shaved, except for a grassy area on the top like hair. On top of the man's head stands a small figure holding binoculars, watching a bird circle overhead.

A robotic figure with two mechanical arms and humanoid legs that seem to be wearing slacks and shoes. The torso of the figure has a window, in which is viable the profile of a person, as though sitting in a stagecoach. The robot is carrying a suitcase and paper shopping bag by the handles. Placed on top of the robot, where a head would be, is an empty wire birdcage. Perched on the round shoulder of one of the robot's arms is a crimson bird with a long tail.
