partial History from a Liverpool resident on the Bird on the patch

The bird on the patch is what we in Liverpool call The Liver Bird. When our city was formed hundreds of years ago, it was a big water inlet known as The Pool.

Cormorant birds would come to this pool to feed on the rich seaweed ( Lava ).

Over time, with the settling of English and Irish peoples the LAVA POOL became known as LIVERPOOL.

Some people say the bird is a sea eagle but I still say it's a cormorant. In the birds beak, you will see the Lava weed.
