I was just searching to see why Pratchett chose that as the name of his city, but everything I came across said he wasn’t familiar with the bird at the time, and it was retconned into the crest later. Very interesting.

You guys keep making me feel guilty I’ve still actually gotten around to reading any Discworld. It will work someday, I swear! I have Guards, Guards on my tablet ready to go, and I watched the Hogfather movie and loved it.
