I am trying to find out which bird represents the city of Leeds as its symbol. I know that many cities have official or unofficial mascots, often animals or birds, that reflect their history or culture. So, I want to know which bird holds that position for Leeds.

Sir John Saville was the first Alderman of Leeds, and his coat-of-arms included the owls.
