The bird is blue, a colour long associated with royalty but also the colour of the sky, the host of the bird when in flight and the host of the sun/star which lends light to see. The eye/wing of the bird represents the consciousness that comes into being from the result of communion, a consciousness that is simultaneously, progeny, witness, and co-creator on both subjective and objective levels of experience.
