pezWhy are some British pubs named after body parts of (usually) someone royal (King's Head, Queen'sArms)?
I'm looking at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pub_name_origins, but it doesn't say much about the body parts...
(Before anyone asks, whilst there are pubs called The Cock (as in the chicken), unfortunately I haven't seen any that's called the King's Cock - or worse, the Queen's Cock XD)

I do love how you specified it was with birds, and not some other cocks... XD!
