The bird is of course The Maltese Falcon, from the movie of the same name <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That's kinda recursive I suppose, cos Quest for Glory itself is loaded with subtle and less subtle homages to various things like the Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Dinosaurs, the 3 Stooges and so on.</blockquote>
