Coats of arms showing one or more martlets. A martlet in English heraldry is a mythical bird without feet which never roosts from the moment of its drop-birth until its death fall; martlets are proposed to be continuously on the wing. It is expressed as a stylised bird similar to a swift or a house martin, without feet.
