No, birds are just very common symbols, and eagles are obvious choice over chicken and such. Russia also has double headed eagle, USA, Germany and so on...

[Bereta_Eder]

wrong again. (but too bored to explain to a chicken like you )

I know about another country white a two headed bird in its flag. ALBANIA! Coincidental?

After the fall of communism, the Polaks put a crown on the goose or whatever that bird in their coat of arms is. Could be some kind of anticommunist/nationalist statement.

That's a white eagle

And the crown was not put on the head of the eagle, but restored - it used to be there before ww2

[Bereta_Eder]

that would be THE BIRD

ok but restored to a country that doesnt have a king?

[Gangerolf]

one head, two heads, crown. who cares? real countries use lions, not some stupid squeaking bird, everybody knows that.

It seems that two headed eagles have been taken from Byzantine Empire:

Two-headed eagles are common heraldic symbols in Eastern Europe, deriving from the emblem of the Byzantine Empire.

[Gangerolf]
