	Liver bird - Definition, explanation
		The Liver bird is the symbol of the city of Liverpool, England.
		By the 17th century, the origins of the bird had begun to be forgotten, with references to the bird as a cormorant, still a common bird in the coastal waters near Liverpool.
		The modern popularity of the symbol largely dates to 1911, when the Royal Liver Friendly Society built a new headquarters in the heart of Liverpool at Pier Head, close to the banks of the River Mersey in the heart of Liverpool.
