But /was/ the Golden Bird really a golden bird? Remember we
are getting our impressions from the eyes and minds of the
police. For example, when Sirius and James pull 'drumsticks'
from their back pockets. 

I'm wondering if, and my first impression was, that the T-shirts
had the Golden Snitch on it. The police office saw something
golden with wings and could only assume it was a bird. 

I think if it were any type of common representation of the
mythical Phoenix, the police officers would have recognized
it as such. A Phoenix is not that uncommon a symbol.
