Origin
Braviary is based on an eagle, specifically the Bald Eagle. Some of its physical characteristics, such as the fully-feathered legs and the light-colored "crown" on its nape, are reminiscent of a Golden Eagle. It also has feathers on its head that resemble a {{wp|war bonnet}. Some species of eagle, such Philippine Eagle, possess a similar crest. Its color scheme and basis suggest it is inspired by the United States of America, the flag of which is red, white, and blue and the national symbol of which is the Bald Eagle. It also resembles a Native American warrior.
Name origin
Braviary is derived from "bravery" and "aviary". It may also come from "brave", a term used to refer to Native American warriors. Warrgle is derived from war or warrior and eagle, and possibly warble, a sound a bird makes.
