    The difference is the Type 2 ends with a 2 where as the Type 1 ends with a 1. Basically they are 1 Type apart.

    Dang! I was wrong again. The Type 2 glows like it's on fire where as the Type 1 doesn't.

    What then if you discuss ideas about events that involve people? Will it be on the test?

    Does that make Type 2 "one louder?" You gotta love a chance to use a Spinal Tap reference!

    Au contraire, mon freur. Check the wingtips on the left as we look at it, that may be the differenceimage

    I dunno, looks like it's on fire to me, but I could be wrong. image

    Russ, can you clarify this? Is there a fire or no fire?

    I see the most notable area as the wingtips being curved on a Type 2 on the right side, along with longer tail feathers. There are a few differences, but thanks again.

    Type 1 viewer's left wing has 4 feathers to the left of the perch (and not touching it).

    Type 2 viewer's left wing has 3 feathers to the left of the perch (and not touching it). In addition they seem sharper and in higher relief and better separated.

    The illustration of type 2 looks like a 2 but I can't make out the end of the perch.
