This is a wise bunch so I'm sure someone will know the answer to the question: What are the little birdies I see next to some user names? What I really mean is, what do they signify?

They're Igors, a symbol to mark a donation to one of many charities in memory of Sheldon. see the string "one star,two stars,red star blue star" down in News and Announcements sub-forum for the disscusion and process on how to get your own.

I think they selected the eagle because of his helmet (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/eagle.html).

Sheldon called the eagle on his helmet Igor, ergo the name of the symbol .
