* RABBIT: The Rabbit symbolizes Love of letters or One who enjoys a peaceable and retired life.
* PARROT: The Parrot is a symbol of a Noble Knight, who looks with pleasure at the enamels on his shield, with the intention of not only preserving them, but adding new stamps with his own deeds and is also a symbol of Eloquence and Docility.
