    If only Flying Monkeys or dragons counted. Interesting to see how few beers have birds on them that I've had (other than some of the local Michigan beers that have been mentioned in this thread: Poet, etc).

    Short's Lil Wheezy has an owl, but likely not easy to find.

    Night Shift Brewing has a cool owl on their logo. Tough get in Illinois I presume, though.

    the Pale Ale is the best bird-centric picture of their cans:

    Well actually I don't think there is a bird on the bottles/cans. It's named after a car, not a bird:

    The OP could pick up a mixed case, as almost all of their beers have hawks or other birds on them:

    Anything from Black Raven Brewing in Redmond, WA. All of their beers are fantastic.

    For the OP, Humboldt's other beers would be easier to find, and they all have the hummingbird on them:

    True, but Black Xantus is the only one of their beers whose name derives from an actual hummingbird! :slight_smile:
