    Old Roy actually misinterpreted Jeremiah 12:9 when he sees the great speckled bird as a positive symbol. Jeremiah was calling out the Israelites for mingling their beliefs with those of the neighboring cultures (hence the bird is speckled and not pure). He calls upon the surrounding peoples to attack Israel.
    To Roy, the Bird represents his religion/Faith. Everyone attacks him for it but they can find no fault in it.
