Just to add my two cents worth. I agree that the bird referred to was originally ( probably) meant for an eagle. It doesn't have two heads, or any head.
______-
A three-headed deity was worshipped by the ancient Celts; a three-headed Christ appears for a while in Latin art, though only in the south.
In the period (4thC BC - Alexander's time) when I believe much of the matter in the manuscript was first given its form, coins from Cilicia also show a three headed deity. This is not to say it's what is represented in the folio Ellie mentions. I don't know; I haven't worked on that one.
