Here’s a random bit of trivia for you
For this we are just looking at league football clubs in England in the 2025/26 season
🦅 Clubs with birds on their badges
- Crystal Palace – eagle on crest
- Tottenham Hotspur – cockerel
- Brighton & Hove Albion – seagull
- Norwich City – canary
- Swansea City – swan
- West Bromwich Albion – thrush (“throstle”)
- Cardiff City – bluebird
- Sheffield Wednesday – owl
- Sutton United – parrot/popinjay
- Walsall – swift
- Wycombe Wanderers – swan
- Notts County – magpies
- Swindon Town – robin
- Bristol City – robin
- Cheltenham Town – robin
📊 Total
That gives you 15 clubs out of the 92 whose official crest includes a bird figure (not just a nickname or name association).
💡 Note: Some clubs have bird-related nicknames or historical connections (like Newcastle United’s “Magpies” or Leeds United’s old owl symbols) but don’t currently include a bird in the badge artwork itself.
