In the late 1800's "Women's hats were decorated with wings, breasts and whole birds. According to Harper's Bazaar, in 1875 the merle, or blackbird, was a favorite, and especially the merle bronzé, a Brazilian blackbird, which was not black, but had blue and bronze shades on its wings and back." - Source Victoriana.com
