bird, burred

Bird or bird means the feathered two-legged creature, usually capable of flight--
We'll have to look for that bird in the guide; I don't know what it is.
A bird is building a nest in the eaves; we should seal that off.

Burred or burred ( rhymes with bird ) means rough or prickly--
The seed pod is about the size of a walnut, round with burred edges.
You'll need to sand this, unless you meant the edges to be burred.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The logo will have a bird in the center, and burred or saw-toothed edges."
