"Changes that distinctly affect the number of extended wings (from wings folded to raised, or from wings seen on one side of the body to both sides) are sufficient for a distinct change."

=Quick Reference: Bird Postures:= 
http://heraldry.sca.org/armory/bird-postures.html (formerly in the Heraldic Primer)
==Wing postures== 
Like the beasts and their head postures, birds have wing position variants as well that are worth blazoning but not worth a CD. But note that:
* An examination of the development of the various heraldic eagles shows that the direction of the wingtips of a displayed eagle is entirely a matter of artistic license. To avoid incorrectly limiting the submitter's ability to display the arms in reasonable period variants, we will no longer specify "elevated" and "inverted" when blazoning displayed birds. (LoAR August 2001)

===Aug 2004 - angel wings default:=== 
"we will follow the stated default from Parker and declare that an angel's wings are ''displayed'' by default when the angel is affronty."
* [http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/2004/08/04-08lar.html August 2004 LoAR]

===June 2003 - specifying elevated/inverted:=== 
There is also no difference for whether the wingtips of the displayed wings are elevated or inverted. We expect that the same policies that apply to displayed wings on displayed birds should apply to displayed wings on winged objects:
An examination of the development of the various heraldic eagles shows that the direction of the
wingtips of a displayed eagle is entirely a matter of artistic license. To avoid incorrectly limiting

"elevated" and "inverted" when blazoning displayed birds. (LoAR August 2001)

===January 2022 - winged animals proper===
Tatiana Belaia. Device. Argent, a fox sejant guardant proper winged sable between three hellebore flowers purpure slipped and leaved vert.
This device was pended on the August 2021 LoAR to discuss whether or not an animal proper can be winged. SENA A3B1 notes "While a few monsters have a defined proper, most of them do not because they do not exist in nature. Thus, monsters constructed from animals which can otherwise be proper may not be proper."

We allow the addition of wings to inanimate charges proper including charges such as swords and barrels. We find wings added to many charges in period heraldry, including at least one example of a fish proper - the arms of Senitz [Siebmacher 69], described by Siebmacher as "Ein roter Schild / der karpf darin an seiner farb mit w[eiss] flügeln" = "A red shield, the karp therein in its colour [ie. 'proper'] with white wings". We will therefore allow wings to be added to an animal proper. This is not considered a step from core practice. This does not affect the ban on creating monsters from various parts of animals proper.

===May 1983 - insect-winged monsters:=== 
Caterina Leonora de Forza. Return of: Vert, a Bengal tiger couchant guardant to sinister with Tiger Swallowtail butterfly wings elevated and addorsed proper within a bordure Or. "The device is not period style. To my knowledge, the only wings added to beasts in period were those of bats or hawks..."

==Conflict:== 

===May 2005 - bird vs. bat wings:=== 
"we cannot see granting a CD between bird's wings and bat's wings, even as a stand-alone charge."
[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/2005/05/05-05lar.html May 2005 LoAR]

===June 2003 - tips elevated vs inverted:=== 
There is also no difference for whether the wingtips of the displayed wings are elevated or inverted. We expect that the same policies that apply to displayed wings on displayed birds should apply to displayed wings on winged objects:
An examination of the development of the various heraldic eagles shows that the direction of the
wingtips of a displayed eagle is entirely a matter of artistic license. To avoid incorrectly limiting
the submitter's ability to display the arms in reasonable period variants, we will no longer specify
"elevated" and "inverted" when blazoning displayed birds. (LoAR August 2001)

===May 2002 - cd for wing tincture:=== 
"There is one CD for changing the tincture of the wings, which are half the charge."
[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/2002/05/02-05lar.html May 2002 LoAR]


===Sept 1997 LoAR - tincture of wings CD:=== 
Just as we will give a CD for changing the tincture of the wings on a winged monster, so do we give one
for changing the tincture of the flames of a phoenix."
[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/1997/09/lar.html September 1997 LoAR]

===Jan 1995 - bird-winged vs. bat-winged creature:=== 
"[a winged serpent vs a bat-winged tree python] The change to the type of wings is too slight to count for the necessary second. [i.e. there is not a significant difference between a bird-winged and a bat-winged creature.]
[http://www.sca.org/heraldry/loar/1995/01/lar.html January 1995 LoAR]

===July 1996 - adding wings generally a CD:=== 
[registering ''two unicorn's heads couped and a pegasus' head couped at the shoulder''] Since the unicorn heads are correctly drawn, with horns and beards, and since adding wings to a charge is general[ly] worth a CD, this does not violate our ban on similar yet unlike charges (the sword and dagger rule).
