The eagle symbolizes strength, security, leadership, dexterity, focus and authority.  It is also a symbol of maturity and growth. In Celtic mythology, the eagle is traditionally seen as one of the oldest of all creatures, surpassed only by the salmon in wisdom and age. The Eagle of Gernabwy features in the Welsh Mabinogion. In the tale of Culhwch and Olwen, one of Culhwch’s tasks, to win the hand of his beloved, is to find the missing and rather magical child called Mabon.

- Herons, sometimes called Egrets, represent longevity, persistence, and autonomy in Celtic tradition. Some warriors painted Heron on their shields for protection.
