[split] Roots and Eagle heraldry

[DONJCH]

However, is there any reason why we are allowed to interpret some of the roots as wings, but forbid to interpret the other part as legs and tail

Ruby,

In my opinion the wings fit the available heraldic images rather well but the tail is a mess and the legs are even worse, indeed missing, so I don't know why everybody seems to be so focussed on the head.
