Nice work, Doireann!
I would like to list you as the official consulting herald for Her
Highnesses device. This job involves putting her information in the CTS and
following up with her submission's status on regular intervals to shepard it
through the process.
Would you like to do this?

Greetings Your Highness
We start with a conflict and style check. The most obvious matter is the
bird's posture. It may be a problem. I encourage you to look at heraldic
postures for birds at:
http://www.sca.org/heraldry/primer/birds.html. It has been mentioned by a
former Wreath Queen of Arms that research is ongoing, and if evidence can be
found for a heraldic posture not shown at that site, there may be
possibilities for that posture.
As for the rest of your design, it's wonderful. It is simple, bold, and
balanced. Your tinctures are dramatic and striking. At least for myself, a
conflict check will have to wait, as I am far too sleepy to make a proper
attempt!
Once we are comfortable that you have a passable posture and that at least
one thorough conflict check has been done (it is better if at least two
different people check it), then it is time to fill out the forms and mail
them off. Do you already have your name registered? If not, then that too
will need to be conflict & checked, and also documented.
Yours In Service
Doireann
